It most assuredly does cool in Africa, and MILD temperature drops have a decades-long record of efficacy in initiating successful reproduction in a wide variety of tropical reptiles-often when light and humidity cycles alone have failed.

I believe that in nearly all cases in which breeders report successful results "without cooling", the animals have nevertheless keyed in on subtle temperature changes caused by natural seasonal cooling in winter here in the U.S.
