It would be interesting to here from Don and Kathy, and other large breeders.

Also sine brumation is mainly for the male to build sperm, would it also be an option to just brumate males?

I know this topic is subjective, but it would be interesting to see what the big guys think. Off topic I've spoke with Bob Applegate on incubating eggs in a variable temperature like nature vs a set temp. He said he did small tests through out the years. Slightly lower hatch rate, but seem to be stronger snakes. Again, He was not out to really prove anything, I think? just something he toyed with.

Thanks for everyones help
