I just let night temps (I give no night heat) dictate to my snakes the seasons, northern and desert snakes get blasted with heat during mid day hours year round.
I personally think it allows them to achieve slow growth and great age... though half of it is spent semi comatose. anyway lol.
ssssmithy, it may be so in the south with reptiles inhabiting temperate regions. In tropics, both sexes respond to dropping temperatures but the low temps don't have to last long to get them going.
What about Equatorial reptiles, where the temps, photo-periods, humidity remain more or less the same all year around.
Even here, mating is often triggered by changes in atmospheric pressure rather than low temps.
Watterat, it may not be relevant but if you google University of Sydney's David Slip and Richard Shine brumation research, there are a couple of links which have some interesting oppinions on the subject at hand in relation to Diamonds. ( P.s just putting a suggestion people, please dont yell!)
