anything in the range of 50-75 degrees the mice and rats will breed.

anything higher than 80 and sperm dies and production levels drop off to horribly low numbers.

best of luck

Not only can you do it, but if you need that many pinks, you'll save a ton. I only have 4 snakes - 2 corns and 2 savu pythons ( which aren't that much bigger than the corns), and it saves me alot, plus I give extras to a rescue group.

Good luck, and let us know how your doing.
