Finally something real to talk about. Your absolutely right, they do scent mark what they use and claim it as theres. Using the same nest box with the same material does indeed allow them to "take" to the nest quicker.
Also, Sphagnum moss is a material known to us. And easily acquired, we can buy it. But its not instinctually known to hognose. They do not choose to use moist plant material in nature. They normally pick, sandy areas of the same temps an moisture levels you are providing with your sphagnum moss. Try the same thing your doing now, with a sandy mix and see how that works.
