I posted this mostly for you and Mike, I guess you don’t need to know what’s under the tangle of bamboo? Why the bamboos? Can they act as temps regulators? Can they protect from heat stroke? Can they provide a sense of security? Can they allow females to nest guard without being seen? Can this type of nest be used indoors? Can a female see any safety benefits for her siblings? Is it possible that 2 feet of leaves covered with 3 feet stalk of bamboo branches be 1000s lbs less then dirt? Is it possible that large indo monitors prefers nesting this way then all iv tried before?

I don’t know!!!

what do you think?
