Where are you located at? It's easier to simulate a breeding environment if your up north in cool weather. I say that because I live in Texas and in the winter the whole house stays around 78 degrees, but in the summer the temp in my snake room can get up to 90. I have them in my laundry room. So this creates the seasonal cycle automatically. Some poeple say they don't even have to be cooled at all, but I disagree. I've heard the males sperm is more active in cooler temps so that's what I go with. You can introduce the male during shed or after shed, but a really good time to introduce your male is right after the female sheds. She releases pheromones after a shed and It's prime time for the male. Hope this helps. Chris Hall
