I am no expert. This is my first season breeding my snakes, and we didn't cool at all, and its deffinitely worked out fine for us. I know some other breeders that don't cool their snakes either. I don't think its a necessity, but people that do cool their snakes WILL cool them every year because you stick with what works.



Experiement with the different options people throw out at you, because (like incubating eggs, apparently) theres a million ways to do it. Try to come up with your own method. Once you find something that works (whether be cooling or not cooling) hang onto it until you find something better.



But in the end, no I don't think you are wasting your time. Leave them quiet all night long. If no luck, give them space to de-stress, and than put them back in later.



Good luck.
