I cycle couperi and erebennus identically with good success. Yes, absolutely eastern indigos can take the nightime drops to mid-50's in the fall / winter as long as they can warm back up during the day. I beleive that the day / night light cycling and the temperature cycling in the fall / winter is key to successful

breeding. SUCCESSFUL breeding...not just mating, that is!



And yes, the 3.5 year old female, this is her first breeding.

I do not breed them younger than that. Size is really more important than age in my opinion, but you rarely see a female that is large enough that is younger than that. They take their time reaching maturity. I look for a female to be AT LEAST 66" with very nice girth before considering breeding her.
