Yes.

Around thanksgiving, I stopped feeding.
About a week later I cracked open the window on my herp room and kept the door shut with the heater vent closed, so that the inside temperature of the room was cool. During december and january the room temp dropped into low 50s at night. High 50s / low 60s during day.

Spring came - I closed the window, kept the door to room open, turned heat back on for my snakes (alligator lizard doesn't get additional heat) and started feeding everyone again. That triggered breeding response in everybody. Well, almost everybody - one of my adult female kings did not ovulate and did not breed this year.
