    Asbestos Exposure Risks........
    I just read that vermiculite contains asbestos.Do most of you use perlite and vermiculite?Or just one?Im a little concerned about this.Its been my impression at least,that most succesfull breeders use a mixture of these two for an incubation substrate..........maybe its not the case though.Can perlite be used only?Is there a kind of vermiculite that doesnt have any asbestos?

    Hmmmm........ I'd give more time for a response than 2 hours early in the morning here - I'm sure when folks are up and have had their coffee they'd be more than willing to opine.

    (Hmmm - I've donned my idiot cap hehe sorry - 15/18 and bleary eyed staring at this LCD screen both posts appeared as 18 :(( )
