I am looking for information about cooling/brumating diamonds in an attempt to breed them. Does anyone know where to look?

Thank you,

Brian

you can find his article on his methods. It is very extreme as far as how low and long he cooled his diamonds. I think many people are shying away from the real low brumations to prevent sickness but I'm not sure. You may also want to try to contact proven breeders like Gary Valle for info. Hope this helps.

I did cool my pair of Diamonds the end of 2003,slowly cooling down to low 60 and high 50,the male was down at the high 50 for one month where I had no light and no heatpad on..and the cage was coverd with paper so it was dark..So one month cooling down,one month cool,and one month slowly warming up..I´ts worked for me the babys was born in july.2004..also my friend in Sweden had breed his pair last 4 years in a row,starting when they was only 2.5 years old,the last clutch 2004 was of 30 eggs..
good luck

Rolf.
