Marcia I always use the same principal with all reptiles, only the materials changes.

The idea is to provide a dry but humid nest, this is easily obtainable by having 2-3in of sand, or perlite, or clay pebbles, marbles, gravel at the very bottom, this will hold water and keep the sphagnum moos or leaf litter dry but still allow water vapours to penetrate the nesting medium.

So basically you don’t need to spray or water the nesting material, you only need to saturate the bottom layer, the heat generated by your light bulb will do the rest.

I am sure you have already noticed that humidity levels in your cage changes when with your light cycle, this is a miniaturisation of how our atmosphere works, it will allow excellent nesting options, all you need to do is provide good nesting temperature.

See this very simple principal has permitted me to breed many species that many has failed to produce.


Best of luck
