Vermiculite for Incubating Reptile Eggs, Housing Crickets and Starting Seeds ...

Description: Vermiculite is an old standby of experienced reptile breeders. Vermiculite is considered by many to be the ultimate incubation media for many species of reptiles. Reptile eggs need moisture and a clean environment to hatch. Vermiculite accomplishes both by retaining water and slowly releasing it throughout incubation, and by having a neutral pH that discourages fungal growth. Easy to use and inexpensive, vermiculite allows you to properly incubate and hatch healthy, robust offspring. How to use: 1-1.5 inches of Vermiculite is needed depending on the size of the eggs; larger eggs will need more vermiculite. Add clean, distilled or Reverse Osmosis water to the Vermiculite at a 1:1 ratio, but only make as much as you are going to use. Vermiculite does not well damp. Most reptile eggs can be placed directly on the vermiculite in the incubation container and more water may need to be added overtime if ventilation is provided. Check for recommendations with the specific animal you’re working with. Never reuse Vermiculite. Note: This product has an neutral pH and is therefore not suitable as a sole substrate for growing mushrooms which need slightly acidic pH.
