Africa doesn't cool so why do you?

Just thought I'd start a good discussion on why we cool in captivity. Wild ball pythons don't get a chance to cool in the wild and produce offspring so....why do we? I believe that cooling may contribute to RI which could be fatal so...why's it done? In Africa breeding is vigerous during rainy season.

I'm curious to see your replys on this topic.
