My very first clutch is about to hatch any day now and I have a question. First let me say that I rescued a bp and woke up one morning to eggs, so I didn't breed her myself and wasn't prepared but got it all under control and the eggs have been doing great.

So I have them on vermiculite and they will be hatching any day. My question is should I switch out the vermiculite for paper towel now because I work 10am-9pm everyday and if they hatch while I am at work I don't want them hurting themselves or swallowing the vermiculite. I don't know if that's a possibility or not but I couldn't find info on this so I figured I would ask.

Thank you
