I give my beccarii a full 2 ft of substrate and they dig extensive burrows and have laid eggs deep in the substrate. They also have access to potential nesting options up to 8ft above the ground.
Unfortunately, I travel so much now that it's become very difficult to dig up the eggs in a timely manner. I am close to finishing a totally new enclosure for them that will include a surveillance system that should help me be able to keep closer tabs on their activities.
So far I haven't found eggs in the above ground boxes, but we'll see what I find when I tear out the old enclosure.
Nice to see some acknowledgement from other experienced keepers that not all monitors are the same and although they do have many similar captive requirements (access to proper high/low temps, deep substrate,tight fitting humid burrows, etc) they should not all be kept the same.
