Thats funny, as nesting with monitors came from nesting Blackheadeds and Womas.

I luckily figured out that Blackheadeds held their eggs until the eggs died, unless they had suitable nesting. Which led to hatching methods.

At the time folks thought their eggs were hard to hatch. So they attempted all manner of incubation methods. And of course I said, they are easy to hatch.

When nesting was applied to monitors, it was far more critical then with snakes. Afterall, most snake cages are little more then a burrow the snake gets trapped in.

Anyway, nesting was something I developed with colubrids. With colubrids, good nesting, or real nesting, was not madatory, but without question improved the success and lives of the animals.

Anyway, please allow aspididites to close the door, that is, plug up all lite. They want to nest in darkness. I could always tell when they laid, as they would plug the hole to the nesting area with sphagnum moss. Any hole, crack or crevice that lite could come in was plugged. Best wishes
