Hi Rick,
Thanks for you post. I do have a question.

RickAlbig says,
"Certain species just ignore nest boxes and try to find a suitable spot in the substrate and if they can't find that they will either reabsorb or splash them out on top of the substrate."

Are we talking a species on a whole or just a certain individual of a species? And if what you are saying is by some chance true, what certain species are we talking about? Do you have any data? LOL. J/K...

I can tell you from what I have seen, individuals may ignore a nest box one clutch then use a nest box for the next clutch. Where a reptile will nest has less to do with its location or what it is and more to do with the actual conditions. Security, temperature, and humidity.
