I will xplain. I was going to go substrateless but the problem was, there was so much condensation with the overmoist substrate, in the egg tubs. As a solution, I mixed eprlite and vermiculite, and tinkered with it until I got the right humidity with little condensation. I just think that the eggs feel more supported with the soft substrate.

Another good substrate is hatchrite. I bought a bag and have had my incubator set up for 2 months, it still keeps the same humidity% with little to no condensation. It is great i have hatched out leos with already Im just waiting for my blood girl to drop and one of my ball girls to drop.
Wow; the condensation in my tubs is minimal now. It is a fine "spray" that is not dripping; compared to the huge dripping drops that formed when I had the overwatered perlite under eggcrate!
I love this vermiculite compared to the horrobly powdery stuff I had before; this is nice and big and chunky.
