Short drops in temps can stimulate them, however I usually leave them cooled in the garage for at least 2 months before warming them up for breeding. You need to make sure they haven't eaten for at least 2 weeks before cooling. Any food in their digestive tract can ferment and kill the snakes in hibernation.
