We had a warm spell here in Ohio and it went from REAL cool in my shop at night to pretty warm. All breeding activity ceased as soon as it warmed up. Now it has gotten real cold outside(my building is separate from my house) and i struggle to keep it 72. 2 of my males have kicked back into breeding. See the little stud below:


Unfortunately, my Genetice Stripe male and my Yellow Belly male haven't been getting the job done that I can tell. They may be mating at night or when I am not looking, but the little cinny above will stay locked up with her for days. I say all that to say that cool temps seem to do the trick.
