No problem. It does seem new to many here, which is why I am bringing it up.



When you have a method that works sometimes and not others. It means the method is marginal.



That could mean, the method your using is marginal. Lack of depth, to much lite, no security etc. Wrong materials, etc.



Or it could mean, the method was not maintained or applied right. Dried out, to moist, etc.



You mentioned Beardeds, well they are surface nesters, that is, they dig the nesting chamber from the surface or near the surface. Which makes them fairly easy to do in captivity.



Monitors are deep nesters, they burrow many times the lenght of their bodies, make chambers, and deposit eggs. Covering all signs of nesting.



Snakes, like hogs, are can be deep nesters, or fairly shallow, in the far north. But in all cases, make a burrow and nest at the bottom, then cover it up.



One problem I see with hogs and many snakes, is folks do not pay attention to what subtrate is natural to the species. Again, with monitors, its critical. With snakes, its a real preference, but not life or death.



So you have material, humidity, temps and Security as the problems. Get each one right and you will not have problems



ITs actually very easy, Best wishes
