Ok i'm following the whole theory on allowing the Uro's to choose the proper temperatures through their burrowing, and that they will end up choosing the proper temps to lay eggs at providing the environment is properly set up and stable.



Now in your experience (perhaps even relate to monitors) would you or do you attempt to just let the eggs hatch naturally? It would seem that if the setup is done right and the critters have then knowingly chosen the egg laying site due to ideal conditions, that perhaps it would just be the ideal place to let the eggs stay for the duration? Have you or anyone else tried this? Is it maybe just too risky as in nature even with ideal conditions maybe there will be too many losses to make it feasible?



I'm still a ways away from being able to breed my Uro since he's still so young but a sort of controlled "natural" hatching seems like it would be something i'd want to try when he is of the right maturity.Even at least once to see how feasible it might be.



This really isn't just a "Robyn question", any input and discussion at all is greatly appreciated.It's something i'd though about before and wondered if anyone has tried this and with any success? It seems to fit in well with what Robyn's been doing with lizard care and the soil issues.
