Cal kings. But the point is, males bask before the females are up and about.
This is a great project for you. Try a heat pad during the day and then off at night. Warm days, cool nights, just like Spring.
I have heard there are other factors that are not well understood affecting montane kings, whereby fertility goes down over time. Of course this is a husbandry issue, but not well understood.
I had parvs years ago, and the male and female copulated while cooled in Winter, I saw it. But my "cool" is not likely as cold as they get in nature, so what I saw may not be testimony to what they do outside. So many unknowns.
I know a guy who lives in the So Cal mtns who had parvs at one time. He didn't have to do much of anything, they just did well in his house. Goes to show you how the right ambient conditions make things easy.
