FR,

I don't know if my memory serves me right but I think it was you that once mentioned rubbermaid or plastic trash cans stacked with nesting material and boards for a communual nesting area for kings.

Well I heard it somewhere.. I am pretty sure it was you? I never tried it, but the idea it stuck with me and was thinking of a way to make it simple and easier (on me ). The only thing holding me back is trying to empty the darn container every week to find the eggs. But maybe it is not that hard and I should just give it a go with about three females this year and see how it works in practice.

Anyway it seemed like a great idea especially since I have about 5 of those empty cans sitting around and not used most of the year.

Sounds crazy but I might try it and if I can find the snakes making nests in them it will work out well. It is worth playing around with new ideas. LOL!

I keep thinking how easy it would be to jus grab the gravid females and just toss them in the cans and viola' =..eggs!


anyway, my point is there are many ways to make nice big nesting containers and they can be reused for an entire season. That does not seem to be to hard to do.
