I know I'm jumping the gun, but I'm trying to get brumation plans together for the end of the year. I have 1.1 Mali Uros in the same enclosure, and they get along great. I'd like to try and breed them next year, and I need some info about proper cycling techniques. What month should I bring them down, and when to bring them back up? How low should temps go, (both ambient and basking), should I leave the pair together (preferable since I am afraid if I re-introduce in the spring after brumation they won't get along as well as they do now), and how much light per day. Should I feed a different, easier to digest diet? I know they are supposed to be able to eat and bask if they want, but activity must be reduced as much as possible. Anyone who has had success breeding Malis, please reply! I posted a recent pic of my babies at the bottom. I've only had them for about 3 weeks, but I'm smitten!

I just let my mali chill with my bro's mali. They're both boys, but now apollo (my bro's mali) is getting afraid of mine so I'm gonna have to seperate them which is going to suck cause they are both gonna be lonely. Anyways back to topic I just let mine do what they need to do during brumation time.

Also, I like to have a substrate of some form in their terrarium/cage/enclosure. So if you don't have one I'd suggest either play sand (washed) or bird seed (small enough so if they accidentally digest it, it won't get stuck in their bodily organs)
