1) I have perlite. should I remove the moss and use perlite instead, or a mix of both, or leave them as is?



Move them to perliet asap.



2)do I cover them at all?



Yes! the cool thing about perlite it allows lots of airflow to the eggs. Just make sure when you add water that it is not to wet. DO NOT add water and squeeze the perlite like people do with vermiculite. Just add water and stir. if it is to wet just add a bit of dry perlite ontop of the wet. as long as the eggs don't come in contact with water.



3) can anyone supply a pic of their incubation setup?



no pics, but temperature is important. I never used a incubator. no need for colubrid eggs and perlite. The perlite is magical as i used other mediums in the past and since the perlite was around it made a big difference in mold, hatch rate etc. I can't say enought about it.
