I'm FAR from an expert, but I let mine get cold last year... REALLY cold!!! When a front came through I'd put them in the garage, open the door part way and let the temps drop as low as possible. How low? Mornings would be around 40 to 45 and DTH around 60 to 65. I'd let them stay in those conditions as long as it lasted up to around 4 days and then back into their enclosures where heat tape was set at 84. Repeat all winter, feed small meals sparingly (females) on warmer cycles during this time, watch them breed, ovulate and collect eggs in the Spring. I've heard some folks have problems at those kind of temps, but so far so good with my adults. Just did the first cycle this past week and both pairs breeding yesterday.

>>Any tips on suggested temps for these guys? Should they be treated the same as Diamonds?
