I did indeed have discussions with Stan, but did not actually work with him.
A problem with whole cage nesting in large cages is indeed finding the eggs, if you do not see them nest.
I will say, after some experience, or in your case, hard lessons, you can fairly accurately perdict where they will put the eggs.
I used deep leaflitter, like with lacies, but I have had a friend also have nesting success with deep dirt, although his eggs did not hatch.
One thing I noticed with one of our females was, she would urinate on the nesting area. Which was not normal for her.
Also, I recomend building cages where ease of access is addressed. If you intent to breed larger varanids, make the cage so its easy to remove the substrate, well at least easier. hahahahahahaha. Good luck
