A friend of mine says he is going to start cooling his burms to breed. Do you think it is possible? Would it be successful?

Yes, as long as you simulate the proper temperature/weather conditions and to a much lesser extent, photoperiod conditions (not crucial in my opinion, but I do it anyway) then all egg and sperm development should follow automatically. I am putting two female albino granites and two males (one granite het, one albino granite) into cooling soon too to produce early albino granites and granites het albino. You should be fine. What are you going to breed Tom? Or is it just your friend?

It isn't "Ideas" that fail or succeed,... it is the "Systems" which are instilled to launch and sustain the idea that either fail or succeed.>[Me.]

He has a 10 ft. Female albino and he is going to breed it to an albino green that he is borrowing from someone. I am still trying to figure out what went wrong this year. I do not want it happening again. I plan on breeding some albino burms. I also have two normal burms i plan to put retics with. Then i hope to prove out my het for albino balls. I plan on starting in mid Oct cooling everything.Then reheat everything in mid Dec. I will have to cool both sexes together and heat them up together. Due to lack of cage space. Does this sound about right. I hope to actually get some babies this year and not a bunch of slugs. If that happens i will be recieving packages from you and Bob. SNAKE SHOPPING SPREE!
