BUMP I'm interested too, my first bredli's only a yearling so I don't really know but I just thought I'd keep this thread alive.(I'm gonna guess about April/May, 1degree or so a week sounds about right and I don't think you'd go below 24, but I need to pay more attention to my signature and shut up where I don't know what I'm talking about  ) C'mon people.............

Give them cold nights,(no heat at all), and hot days. This lowering the temp 1 degree a day is rubbush, trust me.
Start mating in about june.

If you give them cold nights,(no heat at all), for a week or so before introducing them all is good as long as they have passed all food inside them. Keep the hot days cold nights going while mating, then after a few days of mating seperate and offer female food,a good feed, she should still eat if so keep the heat on 24/7 untill she has passed it all, then go back to cold nights hot days and more mating, keep repeating this and give less food between each mating untill she refuses which normally tells you she has conceived.

Na, because I dont use those horrible disarterous things called thermostats, or sledgehammer prey as I perfer to call them, and instead mainly use tanks that are divided into a warm and a cold side, my animals tend to cool themselves as they have acsess to day, night and seasonal temp fluctuations and take full advanage of it. To easy and common sence really. Most thermostat controled enclosures dont give the animals any where near the temp gradient that this method does, and for most speices the larger the temp gradient the better.
With thermostats most times you are telling the snake what temp it has to be as you have taken away most of its choice.

Trueblue, do you heat any of your pythons during the night?

Yes, all have acsess to heated area 24/7, except when snake room is 30-31 or more then not needed, or when cooling during mating.
