bone dry perlite is mixed with water at a 50/50 ratio by weight. Like 400grams of perlite to 400 grams of water. That is a very good base to start from. I personally use a little less water then recomended. Maybe 55%perlite to 45% water. But not always, hahahahahahahahaha For instance, 50/50 in the fall, for the dry winter, and 55/45 in the summer for the humid monsoon season.



You see, incubating eggs is very much about making decisions. But you as a beginer has to make one decision. That is, what to start your learning curve with.



If you have hatched other reptile eggs, do what you did with them. Only use more mass/medium/substrate. Its really all the same, it only takes longer(then most)



I think the best approach is to not take it too seriously. Just do it. Cheers
