I want to setup a little nesting box for my fat tailed gex, would a small (8cm diameter) plastic container be ok with a hole cut in the roof or side? What should it be filled with?

Sounds fine - fill it with coir peat - 'Brunnings' brand is the best. I bought mine from K-Mart but you can get it at Bunnings, garden centres etc. Also make sure you don't grab the one with the fertilizer in by mistake...

Vermiculite is generally used for incubating gecko eggs in as a medium.
I use old Cricket Containers for nexting boxes that have been modified.

I'm yet to have any of my species lay in nesting boxes.
I've just left them to lay in their substrate. Would be good to hear how you go with it though Hornet.
