Question for Albeys or someone that knows

After hatching babies is the perlite in the container still reusable? Just curious if i could save it or just toss it out.
Didnt know if it would hold humidity a second time.

Im sure it COULD be used. But I wouldnt Suggest it its been in the incubator moist for probably 50 days not includeing when the hatchlings hatched and the eggs opened... Id guess if you smelled the pertilite it probably doesnt smell that great either,.

Yes, I always reuse mine. Never had a problem with it.

After re-reading the question more closely yes you can reuse the container and pertilite to hatch eggs.. I was thinking you were going to try to use the pertilite as a humid hide or subtrate or something for some reason.. I wasnt totally awake when I was going threw the forum early this morning..
