I have some charts in monitor lizard books showing temp variation in termite mounds throughout the year. Interesting stuff since inside the mound is pretty close to a constant temperature at any given location. Lace monitors tend to lay eggs in termite mounds....and unlike pythons....their eggs need constant temps for the HUNDREDS of days it takes to incubate
