I know we are some way off yet, but do you guys who have had your Royals for a while drop the temps ove the winter months even if your not breeding?
Is it just best to leave them the same all year? |

| anything i'm not breeding from will keep their temps as normal through winter, although the daylight length also affects (and can induce) brumation too............ |

| As above, if you're not planning on breeding them in the spring then keep them the same. |
