In West Africa where Balls occur in situ it seldom if ever get's below 65 degrees. The change in barometric pressure accompaning many weather changes is really what triggers breeding. Even on a cool night in the 60's the next day still warms up to the middle to high 80's in W. Africa. I know as I've been there. Many people I think cool them down for an extended period of time and therein lies the problem. It's o.k. for a mild drop at night but the next day they should be warmed up again. Watch this season as a front moves thru what happens with your breeding Balls when the barometric pressure drops...Thanks
