Nighttime drops are not necessary. They can be helpful when getting ready to breed snakes, but otherwise, not needed.

Not just helpful, but necessary for consistent predictable breeding.

Please note the "consistent predictable" part.
I was at the MARS talk too and I think you are misunderstanding what Alan was saying.
Sure, ball pythons may breed without a nighttime drop. I have some pairs that would breed all year round if I let them. But, if you want to breed ball pythons and know with a great deal of certainty that your male is going to produce sperm and your female is going to ovulate, then nighttime drops are required. Otherwise getting eggs is a crap shoot.
Hope that helps clear things up a little.
