Feeding through breeding season

Does anyone here feed either male female or both during breeding season?
I ask this as i have heard from people that they continue feeding and still had success through breeding season. One person told me he only feed his males and the other said they feed both but not so much for the female.
Anyone else?

I've heard that females don't eat while they are gravid, so maybe that could be a good sign.

I dont even offer food to them during the mating season, but some people still feed,but make sure they have sufficient heat to digest the meals

I'm still feeding my female bredl's as they could use a bit more condition, not feeding the males though nor my female Jungle who has plenty of condition. My female Spotted could use a bit more condition also as last season took a lot out of her, but she's off her food so i doubt she will breed this season.
