I use only Pearlite in a weight for weight mix i.e. same weight of pearlite to water, to hatch all my eggs. Since switching to just pearlite, I have had a better hatch rate with both python and lizard eggs. It doesn't compress like vermiculite and allows the humid air to permiate all round the eggs.
