thanks vaughn....I was planning on using the perlite for bp eggs, but if vermiculite would be best....then I will use what is best I have heard of people using mixes of perlite/vermicuite or all perlite ...but could not find out exactly how they did it. It is really not that big of a deal if i need to pick up some vermiculite also. My wife wants some bearded dragons so I probably wont be able to resist giving breeding them a shot when we get some....do you know if perlite would work fine for bearded eggs? Why do you use perlite instead of vermiculite for the cresteds?
