got it and read it about 5 times over. asking if that cooling method sounds about right? not what books to buy but thanks anyway.

asking for people with experience with womas to give me some of there advise or helpfull tips on cooling. thats the method i was going to use.. would this method be ok?

I think 4/20 is a bit excessive but that is just in my experience.Dan

Tyrone...Womas are native to central/inland Aust.the sun shines alot more than those hours you are going to use, in fact a good way to end up with some nasties (ri). l personally believe 10 hours should be a minimum, l have been breeding womas for 10+ years and they breed every year and the least mine get in May-July is 12/12 heat/cold and l regularly get clutches into the double figures....Aug-Dec 24/7 heat.....with Womas and BHP's l believe all your homework is done between Spring Equinox and Easter then the rest will fall into place.

this year i am breeding. had heat 24/7 up till april, then had it 32 for the day and 26 and night. then may june july had all the heat off completly with ambient tempp in the room being 24 during the day and 14 at night. now I am turining the heat back on in mid august during the day to 27 and slowly working it back up. I just look at the temperatures of the area for that month they are from and replicate it. I live in hedland and I am breeding womas from here so it is pretty easy for me.
