Amen. I was just trying to counter the hypothesis that tropical snakes need NO brumation. My Mangroves and Cynodons breed w/no "triggers" as do my Gonyosoma but there are still lower ambient temps in the room in the winter as well as a maninpulation of the day/night lengths...done more for other residents in the room but affects all. I also try a lame replication of the wet/dry cycle by going fairly dry during the winter and ramping up frequency as the ambients climb in the Spring/Summer..LOL

Another thing we've all seen over the years..it can be as simple as a cage change to get the pheromones going! I recently did that w/my Acrantophis and had to pull the male off the female as he was driving her nuts!
