Is brumation necessary for northern blue tongue skink’s to breed?

Hi I was curious to see if any breeders have bred northern blue tongue skink’s without doing brumation before breeding season? If so what was the result? I would like to in the future to breed northern blue tongue skink’s and I can’t find the info if breeders have bred skinks without brumation.

Cooler temps stimulate ovulation and sperm production. They require the rest and fasting. I would say it is necessary for a positive outcome.
