It doesn't matter what you use under the plastic grate. I've used perlite, vermiculite, both, neither, water, a towel, air, nothing, etc etc etc, all with the same results. The air is saturated at 100% RH, and the eggs are suspended on this plastic gratin. Its the whole concept behind the "no substrate" method. Unless I had a "room incubator", I wouldn't use anything else.
