To wet and too covered up. Vermiculite should just be hardly damp.


I still highly reccomend perlite over vermiculite. I used vermiculite for decades before Perlite came out. Perlite is more forgiving with the wet dry mixture. I also find that vermiculite attracts insects and mold much easier.

The main thing is the eggs are in a humid enviroment (showbox). I see far to many people think the eggs must be touching wet substrate and really it just has to have some humidity in the box.
