cooling and feeding????

rainboa Jan 06, 2004 01:00 PM

I have been reading a bunch of posts regarding cooling for breeding purposes. My question is this.... Should I continue feeding while cooling? Will they have an appetite??

Thank you for any help!

Rainboa,
. The females will likely still have an appetite. The males may still eat but will be less liely than the females to eat. If you have them cooled very much (less than 70?) they may have problems digesting. If only cooled a little (perhaps around 74 degrees)they can probably eat and digest fine.
