Hi everyone!

Today I studied a lot on the seasonality of breeding boas (imp morphs).

Well. The reason I did that was because I want to do everything to get al my matured boas to breed.

Now I have a few questions.

1. I learned that a good range of temperature for nonbreeding season is 83-86 degrees. Does this mean only at day time? Or also for nighttime?

2. I always thought that it was good to lower the day and night temperature in the breeding season. But now I've read that you have to get the day temperature increased and the night temp decreased. Is that better? Or is it better to lower both day and night temperatures?

3. Gravid females should be kept on a range of 80 - 90 degrees. So, it has to be 90 degrees on the heating pad? Is this also at night time?

4. Is it bad when the temperature is about 95 degrees right under the spot? (ofbreeding season)

I hope I can get some really serious reactions. Thanks!!!

you honestly have thought of everything with the information on your website. You are invalueable (sp?)!

Hi,

Ok thanks, I did read that article. Nice information.

So you are saying that it is better to use another seasonality schedule. Just lower the day and night temperatures, with 20%.

That's clear,

But what do you think about the 95 degrees under the spot? Is that good, better, bad or what? I think it is no problem, but if it is better to decrease that temperature, I will do that.

And is it normal to have temperature of 80 degrees at night? Isn't this too hot? Or schould that be the hot spot, so the animal is also able to choose colder spots?

thanks!

Anybody?
