the thing is...people do it all the time, and there is nothing fundamentally wrong with it...but if your male isn't a "stud" in the bedroom, your second clutch could be heavy with unfertilized ova.

also...cooling IS important...but not as important as proper body weight for the female. the combination of body weight and cooling seems to be the catalyst for the development of ova.

fred albury gave me this advice - he values barometric pressure more than cooling...and i'm starting to agree with him, based on behavior i've witnessed during thunderstorms...

a period of seperation is essential.IMHO.

i have never found photo period to play a signifigant roll...that is...other than the naturally occuring photo period change in my hemisphere.

i hope this helps...keep in mind that a hundred people could tell you a hundred different things....and they could all be right and wrong at the same time...
