again its not so much "how its done"(cooling)
Its why its done in the big picture,hiding behind the label "hobbyist" fools far fewer then anticipated.

The last 5-6 years has really junked out this hobby to a point of no return
Its good to see efforts far and above shoving rats to a snake in a tub
and rushing to market

I can only say that when I put two males in with a female at the end of our "Winter" (southern hemisphere July/ August/ September), they went straight for her, (and I have hopes of a pregnancy, still not certain), but when I put them in with a different female in our "Summer" (December/ January/ February), they have insisted on remaining just good friends.

I'm not sure what the pros and cons of artificial cooling etc are, but it certainly appears to make a difference "in the wild"
