Do you have any evidence of this?? I have tons of time out in the field and I have found, or heard of hatched snake eggs under small rocks, in rotting logs, under railroad ties and in burrows no more than a foot under ground. There is no way those areas stay consistent. Where I find the Az. kennerlyi, the temps can fluctuate 40 degrees from day to night during incubation season. Tell me a place accessible by a snake that is going to stay a consistent 80 deg. during those conditions?? To think that eggs don't fluctuate 10 degrees during a 24 hour period in most of the US is just not correct in my findings. You would have to dig 10 feet deep to find consistent temps. and that would be to cool to incubate.
