Now I will talk for Will and I, if I may. We use this method for reptile species that with poor nesting FAIL completely. There its mandatory. With such species as cornsnakes. They are commonly produced, even in the early days, because they are very pliable. Which means, easy. heck wild cornsnakes live in old houses, how hard can that be. Other species do not use whats common to us. Hognose, do breed in shoebox setups because they too are pliable(easy) Recently, I took up hognose, and compared to varanids, they are really really easy. particularly nesting.
Which is a good thing. That means, you can test materials and conditions and not lose females.
So far, everyone who tried it after I brought it up to this forum, as liked "THEIR" results, please understand, they liked it compared to "their" previous results. And consider, there has not been time to do much adjusting.
The folks who tested deep nesting reported females depositing successful clutches quickly, and up to the night after the shed. Compared to previous methods where the females held eggs for much longer. To me, that's amazing, As none had to work on the method. I do find it hard to believe so many folks received such good egg laying times so quickly. But that's what was reported.pt2
