There are lots of ways and Im sure all work. Ive hatched hundreds and hundreds of all type of herps and this is what I use. I use moist vermiculite. I add water and mix it till, when you squeeze it. it sticks together and holds but water dose not drio out of your fist when you squeeze. Its very simple and lots of people have had lots of sucsess with this. Also make sure your using some type of plastic container with a top to hold the eggs in. Like a peice of tupperware. Brill about 5 1/8" holes in the top then place the container in the incubator. Check it about every week. It should be moist inside but not soaked. If it is too wet, you will see lots of coninsation on the inside of the lid. If this is the case, Just wipe the lid with a paper towle. This gets rid of some of the moisture. If the inside of the lid is compleatlly dray when you check it, just add water around the eggs. NOT ON THE EGGS! Never add water directlly on the eggs. Thats it. Contact me if you have any questions.
