If I can be honest, your rationalizing. Making excuses. We should do whats important. Nesting is important. It should be considered a captive requirement. If you do not have the room for a two foot by three foot box, you should not be breeding them. That is not much to ask.

Your statement seems to indicate a box beyond reasonable size. That is not whats going on here. Even a two by four box is reasonable. To me that's a really good size nesting box. Please explain to me any real condition where you cannot do that? I am serious. consider the value, people pay all manner of money for some snakes, and racks, and rodents and will not place $40 value on better nesting that improves both results and the health of the female.
hang around here a bit, some many nice folks bring up this, my beloved kingsnake, LINDA, shes so sweet I love her so much and she became eggbound and died. Why? I know why, do you?
