Can we see pics of the nest boxes in question. How much substrate is in the box etc? Pics are worth a thousand words. Im no master at this and im open to other ideas.
I personally have a pair of ackies that laid 28eggs in one season. The ackies are less then 2 yrs old and started about 8months of age. My experience sucks and I only hatched 3 lol from two of the clutches. My last clutch is around 7o days right now with all 10 going strong so maybe 13 out of 28 soon if lucky. I have another clutch which was just laid last week (new season?).
Background info out of the way, my ackies rejected all nest boxes I supplied. Always used the ground not far from the basking lights. Average depth for finding eggs is 13in which is my thought on why nest boxes didn't work.
I personally like John and he has always been helpful and I have purchased sims containers from him so I'm not jumping to anyones side for the sake of it.Just think pics my answer questions.
