Nesting in tree cavities, females lay clutches of two to five eggs which they incubate alone.

Big Guy starts off his day getting harassed by bladder snails the moment he emerges from the sand and then immediately decides that it’s time to go back into the substrate where he is safe from such nonsense... i feel you, Big Guy. i’ll be returning to the safety and comfort of my blankets shortly too.
