Abstract
showed that up to 8 females may lay eggs in one system and that a system may have up to 24 meters of interconnected underground tunnels with multiple openings to the surface and reach depths of a meter. Two of the systems were more complicated than the others though they did not contain more clutches of eggs. These systems probably represent more than a single season of use. Each female using a multiple burrow system seems to do as much digging as does a female nesting by herself but the nests in a communal burrow system are deeper and probably better protected.
