When your breeding balls is the only way theyll breed is if you cool them and not feed them and all that other stuff or will they breed without that?

Yes they will breed,but if you want eggs then its best to cycle them with cooler temps at night.

....others won't no matter what you do...and everything in between...I think in general it helps to have a cooling period to help "synchronize" specimens, but there will always be individuals that do things at apparently unusual times...
for example: last year I cooled mid-Nov thru early Jan...7 clutches were laid over a 6 week period mid-April thru end-May...one female didn't lay until Sept 26, with her last matings end-March...she certianly didn't follow the pattern...

Wow,thats great.
On the twin note...
From what i have read,the female has more "influence" over that of the offspings sex ratio.Is there a similar genetic "influence" involving twins?
