Often females have poor calcium levels due to heating and feeding inaccuracies, and pass it on to the egg. IMO, calcium levels in eggs is the biggest problem with hatchling problems.
I have used used all three major egg incubating mediums and have not noticed any outstanding differences between them, I still prefer dryer than wetter with all of them.
What do you prefer Jason- vermiculite or perlite???
