Never used HatchRite, never will. I see no reason why I should pay more incubation medium when, from everything I heard of it, its basically vermiculite (or maybe perlite) with water pre added. I think I can manage adding water to vermiculite according to each species needs (some need a 1:1 by weight, others a 2:1 by weight (vermiculite:water).

For about $14 CDN, I bought enough vermiculite to last me a very long time. HatchRite is just a little bag....costs about half the amount I pay for huge bag of vermiculite.
