"So help me out here, how do we mimic nature? "

For a researcher with an extensive background in herpetology I'm stunned that you don't know the answer. But since you asked, we supply our version of a heat source, water source, humidity control, food supply, nesting, ground medium, terrain, incubation, brumation cycle, and we select who breeds with whom. All of which is artificially given to them by us in a captive state in an attempt to mimic their natural environmental state. And all of which is a band aid fix for our shortcomings because we are not keeping them in their natural environmental state.

Here endeth the lesson on basic captive husbandry.
