You also need to remember Jonny, guys like Frank and even myself come from a Varanid keeping and breeding background where proper nesting is not an option. It is 100% mandatory and will indeed be the difference between life and death of gravid females. So these theories have been tested for years in other species far more delicate than hognose snakes. Hognose snakes are tough and can deal with a lot of our screw ups and come out unscathed. However, the more people get into keeping and breeding them, the more we will start seeing complications from poor husbandry and poor nesting options. With all that said, it is nice to see you posting intelligent posts and bringing up some good and valid points Jonny. Good thread bro,
