...yea yea...I know...it sounded different than it both was....
yes...anything would work....
I would think perlite would be a good choice...it's hard, and small and doesn't absorb water at all actually....and yes...something needs to be there so it won't slosh around, holds it in place...let's it evaporate at a better rate than just a flat surfaced puddle of water....I guess it makes more surface area for evaporation?...,..would make sense.....the more evaporation the better .......
things like marbles I do not like...they always feel cold to us...even though they are the same temp as any other substrate....
........I never used no substrate method....I used vermiculite....20 years,,,in small Hova-Bators....whatever works for you.....humid and 89 degrees is all they need....
I really always wanted to hatch eggs in clay dirt....just plain old reddish,clay dirt.....just like they do in Africa....
.....it's all good.....
