nest boxes

Hi,
I am looking for some pics of members indoor iguana nest boxes. one that your iguana sucessfully laid eggs(fertile or not). Noshi dug tunnels in hers last year but never laid eggs and reabsorbed. If you could mention the medium used (soil,sand,vermiculate,peat,ect) and how you heated it would help also. I have been to several web sites Thanks

Sean, Karen, Noshi, and Cuetzpallin

when my igg had eggs, i made a nest box last minute for her, and she started laying the eggs within the next hour. i used a plywood box that was one foot high, and a floor of 2ft by 2ft. i made a ramp for her to use to climb into it, and a ramp out. i used peatmoss and eco earth. the peatmoss was a pain b/c it was so dry and dusty, i had to add lots of water. i think i put about 4-5 inches of substrate in there for her.

hope this helps
