Hello All

I have always used vermiculite as my choice of incubation substrate and have always went with 82 degrees. I found that a 1.1 mixs works and 2.1 (two parts vermiculite one part water) works best, but in both cases I would have to rehydrate the mix at 30 days or so. Then I found the new SIM container at the 2009 Daytona show and the vender gave me one to try. I used a 1.1 mix with no issue at all. I hatched out a clutch in 49 days with no rehydrating . To Kevin's point, the SIM container keeps the eggs completely off the substrate so the eggs with yellow /clear/pink eggs do much much better. I like them so much i ordered 10 more containers for next season.

Hope this helps

Brent
