number one thank you for helping me. but the problem is chaos is not moving at all. i thought i had a heart attack, and i almost started balling my eyes out. im still a lil shaky right now. the temps are down to 68 degrees. chaos and peace were huddled togeather, i doubt they were breeding, but neather moved till i picked them up. oh my god, i was soo scared, i thought i lost my baby girl chaos. but is it that normal for them to not move like that? when i breed pythons it wasnt like this. it was easyer to get them to breed. so am i safe at 68 degrees? is it normal for to not be moving around like that? if this is right, then when should i start to worm them back up?
thanx alot guys

Nevin,
...Mine become less active at temperatures less than 68. If you want your BRBs to live very long and very healthy lives you should probably not breed them. Cooling them and then having them go through long gestation with little or no food and then delivery a large percentage of their body weight in babies has to be very stressful. I have no health issues at all with any of my BRBs until breeding season.

Mine slow down too. Everything they do takes a bit longer..shedding, digesting, moving from one spot to another and staying there longer.
