Greg i have a question on monitors using nest boxes instead of using the viv substrate & FR not been able to control his nest boxes as well you can in your area.

How cold is your area from the floor upwards, i thought i had my setup cracked heat wise for nesting sites, fully double lined & insulated floor etc.

But if you look at this pic you can see that my nile only went down to about 16" tunnel wise even in the summer months,there's 2 tunnels about 20" off the ground same level left hand side one not so clear & you can see the top winter one's she used under the cork bark left hand side.

So even in summer the bottom 20" of soil was no good to her, i've had to hand ball it all out & put 2 large 120l tubs on wood supports till i figure something else out.

Could you have the same problem in your area as i've had & that's why nest boxes work better?
this is slice view the other 2/3 have been moved out.
