    Nest Boxes?
    I have heard many diffrent responses on nnest boxes. I know BC completely diched them for the fact that his female retics and balls would nest to the outside of them. Who uses them? Whats your opinions on them?

    I voted assuming that the nest boxes are being used for pigeons. ;)

    I've used them before with success, but most of my girls have laid without them on aspen and newspaper.

    Aspen, you can see she pushed all the aspen out of the way before laying. She did this a few days before oviposition

    I think some females feel more comfortable in a nestbox, but they sure aren't necessary. All these pics are making me giddy for this season!

    I've heard nest boxes mentioned quite a bit with leo's, but not much with snakes.

    I know where I read that BC thing about them...in a Reptile Mag issue!!! Thanks for all the replies!! Would you think a nest box would be easyer to use or would no nest box be easyer?
