I have a pair of diamonds that i am cooling.
They are now at room temperature..insulated house...aircon on 3 hrs a night or so.
I haven't fed them for 2 months and they look at me hungrily. The male has shed and looks excellent, the female hasn't shed yet and she looks hungry, or sad, or both.
Do i have to wait to see them mating before i turn their temps up?
Is it too early for them to start mating?
I really want to breed them but not at the expense of their health. The guy who had them before me had them at 30 degrees for 2 years. I have had them for 12 months and changed their diet to rats. They are about 6 feet long now. From advice on here, from a guru here in Sydney, and from my research on the net i decided to cool them but i am having second thoughts, particularly when people were describing pnuemonia etc.
Please help me Diamond Python geniuses out there.
Should i maybe turn the heat up and forget about it ?
