cycling/photo period/temp?

ChrisLeach Mar 16, 2010 02:41 PM

Wanting some specific info on cyling for breeding purposes. Would like to know timeframe for cycling as in when to begin and end as well as if it is gradual or not. Also what are the hot/coolspot temp highs and lows used. Also info on photo period hours of light and the adjustments made and when. I appreciate any specific feedback i can get. I know this may vary for subspecies but I am dealing specificly with run of the mill columbians.

Respectfully, I do not come to forums to get directed to a site asking me to pay for information. I understand that some people have spent years collecting data and years of labor in trial and error to master the care and breeding of boas and choose to share it for a price. Forums are supposed to be a place for hobbyist and breeders both experienced and amatuer to come together and share information. I feel like what you are doing is scanning the forums looking to market materials. If Im wrong I appologize but you should at least explain why you recommend paying for this info if you yourself did and found it of value.
