these are from last year. Normal babies.

And the results

what was the incubation medium you used?it looks like the sand i use in my pool filter.obviously it works.

Vermiculite. It works well, and the incubator I use is an old pepsi machine that holds humidity between 95% and 99%. Works well. Almost too well, they hatch faster than I can get rid of them.

Hey,
Nice job with the hatching, however, I think you meant "Perlite". I use this stuff too, only I mix it with Vermiculite as a 50/50 mix and it also, works great. This year, for the chondro egg's I went straight with Vermiculite and the egg's are doing well. Should be hatching some by August 7th. 12 total.

You are right. I meant Perlite. I used to use vermiculite and found controlling mositure easier with Perlite. Next year I'll have to try the blend of Ver/per. With the perlite i tend to get more water staining/spotting on the eggs. Thanks for keeping me on my toes...

Hey,
No problem! we all make them. Nice going with the clutch. Awesome hatch ratio. How are the babies doing?

what grade is it?it is milled much finer than the normal vermiculite we see.
