First off, your not a scientist, and this is not a scientific forum. This is a forum of keepers who work with snakes and specifically hognose snakes.
Nesting information of offered to you based on experience. Gregg and I have practiced and experimented with this.
To verify it, you sir need to do it, its not academic. That is, Its not theory, Its a method based on application. Then observing results. What we are talking about has nothing to do with theory. We are talking about applied testable methods. These methods are not only testable, but easily measurable and by YOU.
THese methods are based on individual application. That is, results can and do vary with the application by individual keepers, based on their ability and quality of their individual animals. That is, poor keepers with unhealthy animals, will fail and it has nothing to do with the method.
With applied husbandry, results are based on ability of the keeper. Those with understanding of the animals, can receive value to their projects, by increased efficiency and improved health of their females.
As this is a keepers forum, its up to you to try it or not, its also up to you to learn what is important with any method or not.
In plain English, either do or not, but please move on and lets others learn or attempt to learn how to help their animals. If you do not want to try it, by all means don't. For god and humanities sake, DON'T try it. Your approach about scientific is STUPID. Science is to be pragmatic and question, test and receive results. Sir, if your are scientific, TEST THE FROGGING METHOD that has been successfully applied by many others. Best wishes
