I use a dry incubator, use perlite mixed 1:1 with water and add more if required during incubation, usually take about 120 days to hatch, incubated at 27.8 c, Almost impossible to sex until adult size by comparing head shape, spurs behavior, I myself don't use a nest box instead I use troughs which measure 4ft by 3ft deep this allows the female to choose the perfect spot to lay the eggs within the Viv, only problem is finding the eggs once deposited but there's drawbacks to every method
I guess, seems to be working ok for me though, hope that helps a bit

cheers
