....nice method...and it works...
don't matter how deep it is...they are under something and they feel secure....
moist enough...they like it...and it works...
milkheads do the same thing...like a foot deep the one guy goes...I don't understand the wasted space but whatever floats the world....go for it...
as for NEED to be deeper....not really...
IN the Wild...we found empty eggs (hatched ) inside railroad ties...the centers rot out and snakes and skinks lay, and hide in them....found milks and racer eggs , copperheads use them too.......they lay where they want.....worst example ever was a racer....laid it's (23? I forget) eggs right ON a lawn....yes...right in the middle of the yard....then she hid under a piece of plywood at the edge of the yard.....you'd think she'd have laid anywhere under anything rather than out in the middle of a cut lawn...(they all hatched for the guy that found them, so they were fertile)...
(I used empty gallon jugs with cutoff tops , filled with peat and sphagnum moss for years....for any species that fit in them)...
....Oh...my thought on the method if using plexi....cut it so it does NOT fit the box....cut like 2 inches short...so the female has a wider area than a hole....holes work...but scared me for years.....
.....they do what they want.....
