    incubation media?
    Hey quick question, a while ago I rescued a number of animals from a breeder who had a serious health issue and needed to liquidate the collection. I was given some animals (WC) that were a dinker project with the promise to attempt to continue it. I am close now.

    Question would you recommend hatchrite, super hatch, or just plain vermiculite ? Or ???

    I use perlite. But you can hatch eggs with vermiculite, hatchrite, etc they will all work. I īve seen a video where they incubate eggs without substrate, just water and the eggs on top of a crate.

    I use substrateless - perlite under a light diffuser grate.

    Basically pick one, there is no clear advantage of one over another? I kinda expected to see a substrate debate...

    perlite is clean, vermiculite is not and some suspect it causes more issues than others, hatchrite dries out if you don't use a seal container, super hatch I have no clue...

    What's to debate? if you know how to set up the tub with each of these mediums they will all work.
