        <![CDATA[ I'm thinking of using an air conditioned room to cycle a pair of Chondros in the near future. I can get the desired night time temps needed, as well as being able to bring the temps back up during the day.Silly idea? Something any of you have done? Success/no success? Any input would be greatly appreciated.   ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ That all depends on the altitude. Temps drop into the 50's (F) at night in the Papuan highlands. Wild animals are subject to many environmental stimuli, some observable and probably some that we aren't aware of. In most parts of the US, a much higher breeding success rate will be obtained from nighttime thermal cycling. Experiments with photoperiod and spraying changes have not proven to be very successful unless they are accompanied by a nighttime temperature drop, and thermal cycling alone... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have a couple of pairs breeding now that I cycled with AC. <br>We always turn the AC temp down at night to around 70  but the floor temp is a few degrees cooler so I moved them to floor level cages and hooked a timer up to their heat supply to shut off at night. It drops their temps slowly down to 68 at night and seems to have worked just fine. Randy ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hey,<br>I think that it would work just fine, provided the unit has a built in thermostat where you can set the desired temps. Also, use a unit that is commensurate with the size room you are going to cool down.<br>-Angel<div class='signature'>Chondros are next to godliness!!</div> ]]></description>

You might want to contact him and verify it.<br><br>In theory it sounds like an idea that should work though I once posted this suggestion and was told it was far too expensive to run an air conditioner in the summer, etc., and that it would never work.<br><br>I hope it works out for you.<br><br>Good luck,<br><br>Stu ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have used AC with success.  However the air becomes extremely dry and doesn't provide the best environment for shedding and such.  A humidifier doesn't help much, it just makes the AC pull more moisture from the air.  Just my two cents and &quot;Good Luck&quot;.<div class='signature'>Robert Johnson</div> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Kim, I am currently cycling a pair right now, and I am using a 7,000 btu in room AC <br>unit that vents via 4&quot; duct line.<br>I have been able to maintain DTH's in the upper 80's and NTL's in the mid to lower 60's.<br> I do have the unit on a timer, and so far so good the pair has locked up 5 times so far.<br>I hope this helps!<br>Greg       <br> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ actually, i have done a few breedings during the summer months.  I have found that my family likes it cooler in the summer, and warmer in the winter.

			<description><![CDATA[ Kim,<br><br>It doesn't sound like a silly idea to me.  I would think there are some people further south that might actually need to do this to get the temps down some nights.  The only drawback I can see might be that the AC dries out the air substantially and then there's always the added cost to run your AC that low.  <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->   I guess if drying out is a problem you could... ]]></description>
