Hi guys, I really hate asking questions on a public forum but I need a hand.

I have my first clutch EVER of hognose eggs in the small incubator right now. Ive hatched almost 600 leopard geckos in the past and have 50+ blood python eggs in my big incubator right now.

Because the incubation medium (water/perlite) ratio is different between the leos and blood pythons I figure it must be for hognose too.

What is your ratio of water to media?

1:1 or less, or more?

My leo egg set up contained VERY LITTLE water and it was just enough to allow the perlite to compact.

My blood python eggs are set up with a 5:3 (perlite:water) set up.

I'd love to hear what you guys have to say, and thanks for the contributions!
