Jeff, I've never kept or bred conspics but looked in Schulz's book. He mentions brumating them at 50 degrees for as long as 5 months. He states their range to be from the foothills to the high mountains of all the main islands of Japan, from 100 to 3000 m. In their northern range and the smaller islands are the only places they have been found in the lowlands and then only on rare occasions. I've looked at the temps in some of those ranges and it gets COLD.

I've had my best reproductive years with the asian subspecies I keep when I've been able to keep them cooler (closer to 55) and conspics are from cooler areas than most of the subspecies I keep.

Best of luck.
