FR:"Lacies and other varanids also nest in hollow limbs, so yes, lacies are NOT restricted to ground nests."

You state this as though it is a fact, yet you have absolutely nothing to verify it.

Everyone knows you've based it on a single instance of a captive female scraping out the inside of a hollow log, for lack of anything better to nest in. A female that, I should add, later went on to die of reproductive complications which is usually a sign of bad nesting.

In all honesty, the first time I read your sawdust story many years ago the very first thought that entered my head was "that poor animal - how desperate must it have been to start scraping at the inside of a hollow log?"

FR:" The concept that completely confuses most here and Apparently Crocdoc is, The floor of our cages is not the ground. Its the floor of our cages. A box on the floor is not a termite mound, its a box on the floor of the cage."
It doesn't matter what it is, it's what the female lace monitor uses it for.

The only confused person here is the one that thinks killing every single female lace monitor he's ever owned through reproductive complications is 'success' and worth not adding the single added option of a nest box.
