At this time Caracal, you have beat the horse to death. You attack the keepers who are only trying to help you. And keep attacking and attacking. Caracal, we are only trying to help you. If you do not want help, then don't do it. At this point, all that's left is you do something.
What you posted looked as good as others have reported here. Its plenty deep and the nestings looked wonderful. So I do not see a problem. I think if your still having some females hold eggs a bit longer then others reported, you may want to adjust some parts of your method. Like use boxes where lite cannot penetrate to the substrate. Or keep your boxes in total darkness. Or adjust the materials. Eco earth, seems to work ok, but not great. Try different combinations, like 80% sand to eco earth. Which may be my next test. I have two females in pre nesting shed now. So I will again use, 50/50 like the first time, the female laid in three to five days. The other cage will be sand from exactly where that female came from. I may mix in some eco earth to keep in liter.(pure sand packs over time) Not sure yet, which I end up doing. But it will be today. If the sand feels good when I put it in the box, then that's what I will do.
So Caracal, stop with attacking folks who are only trying to help you, nothing good can come from that. You now live in a country where you do not have to do anything or believe anything you do not want to.(in some small way) Have a great day
