Country:
Both males & females do the get all jerky thing. No reason to raise the cage temp though, normal temps are fine. Best bet is too cool them seperately over the winter & introduce them in the spring once they have begun feeding again. Best bet is to put the male in with the female for a day at a time & then seperate them for a day do so repeatedly over the period of a few weeks in the spring, giving them a few days break after meals. Male may not want to eat once breeding. Don't house them together as the female needs a break & sometimes males won't breed as well if kept with the females too much. Mark
P.S. to ensure its a female have another experineced person probe it to confirm what the first has told you
