Balls don't really brumate or hibernate -- if you aren't planning on breeding just keep him at the normal temps.

Bearded dragons brumate.
Colubrids brumate.

Ball Pythons do not brumate.

Lower temps to an 85ish degree hotspot with a shorter day/night cycle (like winter) and viola, breeding.
A lot of times you don't even have to do that much. Mine will breed any time of year, it seems like.

If you're not breeding, don't mess with anything.
