...your question, especially a fairly straight-forward one!?

anyways, yes temp will influence the period...that is why it's vital to give the female a choice...allow the female at least 90F or so...most gravid females maintain a CORE BODY temp of around 86F but they need about 90F to do so...if the temp is too cool (below 86F) the female may not be able to carry the pregnancy...
