Periods of inactivity can be caused from lack of adequate heat, escaping excessive heat, lack of resources, and I'm sure other things that I can't think of right now.

Periods of inactivity MAY happen in the wild. That doesn't make brumation necessary for the successful breeding varanids.

I don't have enough experience to feel qualified to comment on other reptiles, though I have ideas.
