Posted by: alternater at Mon Sep 14 14:08:33 2009 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by alternater ] When I was usung vermiculite I was using a 9-1 ratio of vermiculite to water. I had my share of dead full term babies and a few fused together babies. Dave D. suggested perlite with a dryer ratio so I used a 10-1 ratio and had much better results. Plus depending on where you live and humidity levels. I live in Kansas where summertime humidity is quite high so I don't need as much moistiure in the substrate for the eggs. Robert lives in a blast furnace with 10-15% humidity so the extra moisture is required. Just remember these are desert animals laying eggs underground. Its probably not 81-85 degrees the whole incubation time and fairly dry. Vermiculite obviously works well for Robert but I'll stick to perlite/shmerlite. LOL. BA | ||
