The extent to which they are cooled should depend on the species. Cooling temps for tropical pythons should be warmer than those of southern species. Theres alot more to cooling than just turning off the heat.

For example when i cool my water pythons they remain active right through the cooling period but stop feeding.
On the other end i cool my coastals so they go into semi hibernation and are not very active except for drinking.

I think it's important for all adult pythons to have time off from feeding and following their natural climate is the best way to do it.
I cool all my adult pythons if i'm breeding them or not.

I don't cool pythons until they are about 2yrs old but thats just me.
