I live in Southeast Louisiana, so the odds of it staying consistently around 40 degrees is slim during winter. I can keep my hibernation room between 50-60 using an A/C unit with odd dips below these temps. I actually keep a heater set on a thermostat around 45-50 in the event we do get a light to moderate freeze. Would viable eggs still be produced with these temps? It may be time to invest in that cheap wine cooler unit LOL!!

Thanks so much for the great info. I am really hoping to breed these guys and get some eggs in the spring. I have become completely enthralled with these guys!!!
