Substraless incubation (light diffuser and perlite or vermiculite)

Ditto. I do put a layer of plastic canvas on top of the light diffuser just in case a really tiny baby pops out, I don't want it falling through the light diffuser.

I breed primarily breed carpets, once they pip I put them on damp paper towels cause it would be my luck that they all drown!

You go to Home Depot and get it. Looks like this it's the white grid looking thing on the vermiculite. This is from 2 yrs ago, this last yr I did strictly water and it worked out great!
