Anyone or do you know anyone that breeds during certain moon cycles? If so PLEASE explain.

I know different things work for different people. I personally don't use the moon cycle but I know 1 person that does. I was just curious if anyone has any input on this question.

Strategies and lunar phase as to breeding in respect of some wild populations. it is possible that it is feasible and happens but if there is any scientific evidence, it is hard to find. My observation and maybe hypothetical, is of some western regions of lunar activity of numbers of snakes being active with the dark of the moon. Relating to the pheromone track and the tracking of males to find females ? The known breeding season of certain species has led many of us to observe many more males out and about and always seem to have this observation with the percentile of more males than females. WHY ? In captivity though, me and others, find that barometric pressure is the key to breeding a lot of times. But have I read that lunar activity can also cause a window of baro pressure ? Or the famous so called " pull of the moon ". I don't know. In my own experience and lucky enough to have written down the breeding gap of some species, I indeed have breeding activity with lunar phases. But was it coincidences ? ..........some one else ?
