vermiculite, perlite or hatchrite??

[danielle609]

of those 3 which do most of you prefer. I would love any opinions on any of these. My female will be laying eggs shortly (I have other threads about that) and I am trying to figure out what I want to use. I have a bag of vermiculite left over from when my sister was breeding beardies, but I am not sure if that is what I want to use. I have used vermiculite for all of the snake eggs I have hatched out, but am not sure if it is the best medium for hatching out chams. Thanks in advance for replies!

hatching medium

So far i've only tried hatchright. I am currently incubating 41 veiled chameleon eggs in it. Seems to o the trick from what i can see so far.

where do you buy hatchright?

 

[RhettusMaximus]

petstores

Alot of bigger petstores or petstores that specialize in reptiles usually will carry hatchright. You can also try looking online.

I ordered hatchrite from LLLReptile, they keep it in stock. This is only my first clutch of eggs but I just put the hatchrite in and put the eggs in and done. Humidity stays perfect and I didn't have to do anything.

where do you buy hatchright?

You can get 4 quarts of vermiculite for $3.99 or 2 pounds of Hatchrite for $12.95 at LLLreptile.com.

...and another for vermiculite

I use Vermiculate for my gecko, snake, and chameleon eggs. I can tell just by looking at it or touching it if it has the right amount of moisture.

I'd like to try the hatchrite though...
