Do I have to cool down once a year or is that only if you are using the snakes to breed |

last winter was the first time i deliberately cooled my older corns for breeding the following spring........... and they didn't breed!! slightly gutted!
from a breeder's perspective as well as it being a more natural cycle for the snakes it also helps keep costs down |

Thanks guys.............then it got me thinkng about how chickens lay eggs even if there was a male with them so I did a bit of googling into snakes laying even if there isnt a male around.............found it can happen but not always |

yeah cooling them is generally done to get them ready for breeding but its not essential.. I keep all mine at the same temps all year round  |

Yeah breeders will usually do this, but it is not even essential for breeding! |

Generally speaking, cooling down is only done if you are intending to breed. Mine are kept at the same temp all year. |
