hatch rite?

[TekWarren]

I have been thinking that I will try this when I get eggs. If it works...it *seems* like it might take some of the guess work out with mixing. I saw a short video clip where Alex Hue had two deli's one with hatch rite and one with with vermiculite/perlite, anyway he poured a small amount of water in each. Then tipped the deli's: the verm/perl showed the water running out whereas the hatch rite retained and absorbed the water and there was none that ran out of the cup.

Mike and I had a nice chat at the Taylor show with the Hulse's about this product (they sell it at their table there). They were both very impressed with it, gave us a lot of good info and we're likely going to go with it this year. Seems like a good product especially for us newcomers in our first breeding seasons with our snakes.

I am thinking of getting that.. I had a bad year last season with eggs that died.. I think it was too moist but it could have been genetics; who knows..? But I don't feel comfortable mixing stuff when this much is at stake so I am getting some of that. I saw it on Alex Hue's site and I will probably order from him.

Next year will be my first breeding experience and I'll be useing it. They were giving free sample bags in daytona and I picked one up.

It's perlite based.

I picked up a free bag at Tinley, haven't tried it yet. Several of the bigger breeders were talking about how they've switched to it.

I hope to try it this year. I got my fridge gutted today and my helix on the way this week


Just need to order some more flexwatt to finish it up.

Though I would like to use the perlite eventually instead of this stuff. I went to home depot today to price out stuff for my reptile room and I checked the garden section and found perlite. It was $4 for 8 qt.
