Re: I need so sav help!
Thanks for the photos. Unfortunately the ""laybox" is totally unsuitable.
It absolutely MUST be completely opaque, not see through, the idea is to offer somewhere secure ("private" to hide the eggs). The substrate must be almost full to the top and quite firmly tamped down and heated to between approx. 27 to 30c.
A solid wooden box measuring approx. 90L x 60W x 45H (cm) with a hole either in the side or the top just large enough for the animal to squeeze in might be acceptable to her, but as already mentioned, using the whole enclosure floor space is much better (obviously too late for that now).
I think under the circumstances there`s almost no chance the monitor will find a suitable nesting site in time, I would recommend having another xray done asap to determine the development of the eggs, otherwise she may die from reproductive failure which is quite a common occurrence.
