Do you sit eggs directly on vermiculite

I was just wondering if you guys placed your ball python eggs directly on the vermiculite or not.
Thanks

I set the eggs in a 500gram water/500gram vermiculite mixture.......in a rubbermaid container with glass lid.

The vermiculite is 1/3 of the way up and around the eggs.

Yes. Unless I use the no-substrate method. This year, I'm finishing up the last of my large bag of vermic, so all clutches for the foreseeable future will use it.
