Thank you so much. I like how you explain how to take care of lizards. It's not just telling us numbers and pecentages and telling us exactly what to do; you actually explain how to find out the numcers for yourself. I like that.



I am kinda going through this nesting thing now. I have a gravid female (the eggs are not fertile of course) but she has already dug and has seemed to discard that nest. I am now trying to raise the temperatures of the nesting area to see if that will get her to nest. I also have oak leaves for her but that has seemed to help none.



Regardless. I have one simple question though. It is about nesting temperatures. Obviously you can't tell me exactly what temperatures to offer her, but I need to have some Idea of what they like.



Room temperature now stays 70°F-75°F. What do you think would be a good warm temperature to try? I'm thinking 80°F, but maybe that shows how ignorant I am of this situation. I really have no idea, so if you could just offer a suggestion or whatever to help me out. It would be greatly appreaciated.



By the way, I am thinking about isolating my female now, in a seperate tank. I am also plannig to give her



1)Warm and moist option

2)cool and moist option

3)Warm and dry(er) option

4)cool and dry(er) option



Hopefully that will be enough. Hopefully it also isn't too late. I think she is begining to show stress signs. And I really don't want to loose this lizard (she was my first MHD)
