Yeeha!!! Now what do I do?

Amp Dec 27, 2010 07:27 PM

Today my first female ovulated. I still have the boa room on the cooling cycle. Current temps are are 81 daytime high and 73 nighttime low. Do I start ramping her temperature up gradually, or do I just kick the heat all the way back up to 88-90 basking with no night drop?

By the way, the female that ovulated is my female DH bloody albino (Kahl) bred to my male TH bloody sunglow (Kahl). Wish me luck!!! Heres a photo.

Personally, I would provide her heat.

Probably ok until after she sheds, because the may ovulate twice (2 sides. Thanks Jeff). She probably wont go on the heat until after she sheds any how.

I would keep the male in until after her POS. You can turn the heat up if you want, but my girls never hit the heat until the POS.
