Good news!
Is junior an armata?

Lately I discovered gravid females do best when kept at 85-90f until they nest, if allowed NTL in the 70s they simply retain eggs until favourable temps arrive.

They seem to judge nesting by ambient temps, other species will simply dig deep until the right temps and humidity. But these guys just go at it when ambient conditions triggers them to nest, no test digging and the eggs are superficially covered.

Seems like inland species prefer moss and leaf litter, while costal will nest in non organic material ( sand, silt, sawdust)

Of course I will know more when I get a few more clutches.
