OK, you have peaked my interest and i am going to try this out this year. I have a few questions that I hope you will answer for me..

Did you come to any conclusions as to why females lay the day after a shed or within a few days?? Nearly all of my females lay in 7 to 10 days. And, why is this important? Meaning do you think there is any benefits to laying sooner??

Also, Can you share your thoughts on why/how using this type of lay box can increase clutch size and improve hatch rates? Are you incubating in this box as well? To date my largest Alterna clutch has been 17 eggs from one female and i almost always wait 3 years (somtimes 4) to breed my girls.. 66 hatchlings from three 18 month females is fantastic results and certainly more than I have ever heard of.

Being that my collection in nearly 90% Alterna you can see why i would be interested in learning more about this topic.
