The problem is, in order to understand this, one must try/test/experiment, the different conditions that may cause, holding eggs. Not using a method and predicting what others will do.
The problem with many on this site is, they do not understand testing. In order to gain an understanding, one must test the different methods.
In Caracals case, he mentions one method, then forms opinions on everything else. Which is poor science. Caracal, if you want to understand egg binding, then you must provide conditions that CAUSE egg binding. Its only then you can gain an understanding of how it works and how to avoid it.
From my experience here, either folks do not understand how to test. or they are worse and only want to attack and disparage. For instance, comparative testing is to set up snakes in different conditions and measure the differences. Either with numbers or behavior. As seen here, I am testing, aspen, soil, and pine shavings. When I mention pine or aspen, I get attacked. Oddly, that's how you test.
In your case Caracal, keep some in poor conditions, shallow nesting in lite, not use your labor room or whatever you call it. Poor diet, poor conditions, just to observe. That's how you learn, not by giving it your all and receiving good results, then saying, the other stuff is not a problem. well sir, its not for you, but it is for others, just a few weeks ago, one poster was brave enough to say he had an egg bound female. I would think that most that have egg binding, do not post it. which is normal. Very few here post failures. To me, this forum is more of an ego based forum(nothing wrong with that). And most post successes. End pt 2
