Philly is correct. That is perlite and I do use what is commonly called the "no substrate method". What I've got under the grid is soaking wet perlite. If the eggs contacted the medium it would be far to wet and kill the eggs. The point of this method is to keep the eggs completely dry while the humidity in the egg chamber (once the lid is snapped on it) is near 100%. Works like a charm. Since converting to this method, I've lost only one egg during incubation out of 5 or 6 clutches.



The beauty of the no-sub method is that you never have to worry if your medium is too wet or too dry, and you never have to add more water.
