This will be my first year breeding darwins and wondered what I should be doing in regards to cooling them and there basking temps over the winter period. I am thinking that my temps should go down to about 17 with a 4 hour basking period in the mornings? They are currently at 28-30 daytime temps and overnight lows of 20 Basking lights and heating most of the day. I really dont know, and i have been very lucky with my childrens, I think they were made for each other as they breed pretty easily. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
If you google it you will find lots of info on cooling down night and day temps you will also have to shorten daytime hours

Get onto the BOM website and look up the average highs and lows of the Darwin area and re-create that.
