Re: where do you get hatchrite?
This stuff is the real deal then, I'm guessing? Its not just some hyped up, overpriced vermiculite mixture is it?

Depends what you consider real deal. In my opinion, if someone can't mix vermiculite, one of the more simple parts of the breeding/incubation process, it doesn't bode well for their success in the more difficult parts. I prefer to gain experience through doing it the first time and learning how to do it properly (doesn't just apply to Ball Pythons).
I have heard nothing but good things about Hatchrite and if Kevin and Kara, Matt from Pangea and other respected breeders in the reptile world endorse it, I'm positive it gets the job done. However, its extremely expensive compared to vermiculite and not for me, but again, its just my opinion.
Re: where do you get hatchrite?
I've hatched ball pythons and colubrids with Hatchrite, perfectly clean stuff and it's awesome. No mixing, no making mistakes, no worries at all from my experience with it. :)
Re: where do you get hatchrite?
I've never tried hatchrite...Would be too expensive...
I prefer Vermiculite and Water...I've hatched out Hundreds of snakes using this stuff without any problems...
You can get a 16lb bag at your local gardening store for around 10-15 dollars.

Re: where do you get hatchrite?
i have to say that i wouldn't use hatchrite for snake eggs because of the cost. i'm trying it with my gecko eggs this season and so far i like it a lot, but it's really not that much different than what i had when i mixed my own perlite last season. hatchrite is fluffier and lighter feeling, but it also seems to lose moisture more quickly.

So basically if you breed snakes you must hide that fact on here?
Seems this man comes here gives helpful advice and knowing he has been breeding for years should help support the advice he is giving.
I didn't read anywhere that he was trying to make a sell.
I don't believe he sells vermiculite so it was helpful advice that this guy does not need to buy expensive hatchrite that vermiculite works great also.
He seemed to be helping a fellow breeder when you start flaming him on a thread thats not even one you started.

Who said he had to hide the fact? I was commending him on his marketing. Why so sensitive?

I agree! Breeders shouldn't be afraid of giving solid advice on this site. Back off jglass38, we don't need that kind of attitude around here!
My advice is that I think that both vermiculite with water as well as hatchrite are super cool!
