Don't ask Gregg, some of my east coast friends know him and his only experience is with hognose. he has none with monitors.

Also, this is the point I am trying to make, a wooden box above the substrate is not a termite mound, does not look like one, does not feel like one, does not smell like one and has not termites controlling temps and humidity.

Lacies and other varanids also nest in hollow limbs, so yes, lacies are NOT restricted to ground nests.

The concept that completely confuses most here and Apparently Crocdoc is, The floor of our cages is not the ground. Its the floor of our cages. A box on the floor is not a termite mound, its a box on the floor of the cage.

An example, I breed many gouldi types, We breed them indoors and out. Outdoors they nest in the ground and it is the ground. Indoors they nest in cattle troughs, which is above the ground on casters, Its in all reality above the ground. At times we nest them on the floor of cages that are five feet above the floor of the room.

The key is, they surely nest better outside in the ground, the indoors is whole cage choices, but not the ground.

This confusion over reality and what we call places in the cage is very very odd to me. Cheers
