I think the only control we really have is simply to keep them healthy(fed well), and warm (proper temps). Humidity also plays a part. They tend, in the wild at least, to lay during the rainy season. I know in my case lighting doesn't come into play much. I use a red incandesant bulb 24/7 and they still foolin' around, and I've had good clutches in the past. Just my 2 cents worth.
