I was wondering if I should start cooling my hatchling balls now or wait until they are breeding weight? It makes sense to me to start cooling them through their first season but I'm a newbie and I don't want to harm them.
thanks,

I don't cool my babies. They get to keep the heat and get to continue eating!

I try not to cool them so they keep eating. I've got a couple a 1 year old girls (early 06's) around 1300g and plan on trying to breed them. TWo are pastels and one's a 100% het Genetic Stripe~~~
Only cool what you intend to breed, other than that keep the heat up and get their weight up for the next season.
Why would you cool them Period? I never cool my snakes..
