Quantify please. Making decisions on one nesting is a bit premature. Not wrong, just premature. In order to learn what REALLY works, it takes time. For instance, females scent mark these nesting sites. Each nesting allows the animals more security. Using the same nest year after year, is when it becomes GREAT.

The problem your going to have is, They can utilize many substrate types. Particularly when they are similar. Like coco stuff and sand, sifted sphagnum and sand. Or good sphagmum. All can be chosen for specific reasons like temps humidity etc. What can become important is, that piece of glass in the substrate. Its not just for viewing. Many snakes prefer to nest under a solid object and for good reason. Do you have any ideas what those reasons are?
