this will be my first year not dropping temps. last year i cycled and my females did not throw many eggs, so i wanted to try something different - they stopped eating, did not mate much and i believe were not hefty enough to produce much. this year though they are all pounding rats and are all mating like crazy. both great things as their weights are great - they have all morphed into big robust gals and are i believe producing nice follicles. funny though... the males have not touched food since sept so if they are "cycled" as this would indicate, so are the gals, they're just "building". i wont know for sure till they lay but all the right signs are there. i leave a window open 10 inches in the snake room - that knocks the ambient temps down enough here in the north that its probably just right for the snakes to feel the change yet they still have all the heat they want, anytime they want.
