lowering temps.

Who here lowers their temps during the breeding season? do you think it really works? i was just wondering if it was necessary for captive bred and hatched animals, since they have never been nor be in the wild. Just want your opinion.

I do and it works for me. I start lowering temps when November starts and keep the thermostats on 12/12 until they come back up in April. It's good to have anything you're not breeding in a differnet rack so you can keep them going all year. They WILL keep eating. That's how babies become breeders.
