Basically Christie is right...this method takes the guess work out of making sure the vermiculite is mixed correctly. It also removes the chance of it drying out prematurely. Essentially, it is water (with peralite added so it doesn't slosh around when moved or opened...may not be needed based on how your incubator is setup. In my case I have to move the egg boxes to open them so I needed the peralite), over the water is light egg crate (usually held up with PVC posts...or something else supportive). Then the eggs are placed on top. So no direct moisture is touching the eggs but yet they are in a 100% humid environement.

As for it vs. the traditional way I have no experience I have always done it this way. I had my first BP clutch this year and but have had several other animals hatched this way in the past.

If you have a specific question let me know.
