I am trying to find more current information on the breeding of A. melanocephalus. Do we cool these guys down? When? For how long?
I would appreciate any info.
Thanks, Dave

I'll be coolong mine down a bit this year...first time for breeding them. I usually tend to put more emphasis on photoperiod than temp on pythons, but where these guys are found, there can be a substantial temp change.
