Do you think brumation is absolutely nesseccary. When I bred boas everyone cooled theirs and I just manipulated photo period and they bred great. I got 100% success one year with 9 breeding. Last year I had a female that was kept in complete darkness in the brumation room. I brumate in complete darkness. But she was in an incubator at 88 degrees. She was the first to ovulate and become gravid. She laid 10 eggs a month before any of the others no double clutch. I only got 1 to Do that last year. It was my first year breeding hogs so I'm trying to to improve my results. does anyone else have any input on this. Or do you feel cooling is absolutely nesseccary.
