That is some great information.
One question though, the termites seal the entrance hole the Monitors dig into.

Have you seen or do you know if the female just walks away or does she kick the dirt back towards the hole?
I would imagine this would be difficult to impossible on an arboreal mound.

I know your's backfill the nest box...again do they do this in the wild?
Thanks for sharing!
