Evening all, I was hoping some of the experienced gecko breeders could please answer some questions for me.
After some unusual incubation periods with rough knob tail eggs I am wanting to experiment with incubation medium ratios and materials.
Currently I am using a finer grade vermiculite mixed at about 0.8 water to 1 vermiculite. I know some people have had issues with the finer stuff so one option I have is to try some of the co a r ser grades ( 3 or 4).
What ratio of water to vermiculite have you all found to be successful?? I am using sealed tubs that get aired 1 or 2 times weekly.
Also, and most importantly: I am thinking about trialling PERLITE for a while. I tried a test mix of 60:40 Perlite:Water mix and it seemed VERY dry- IS THIS NORMAL????(I understand perlite retains water differently to vermiculite, hence why I want to try it). What ratios are people using for perlite and gecko eggs??
Many thanks in advance for your time and responses.
