virmiculite, or however its spelt, the higher the grade, the better it is for incubation

Vermiculite or the no medium method where the eggs kept in an airtight container and suspended on a tray or rack above water are the best ways to go.
I personally use vermiculite and have always had a high hatch rate.

You can get vermiculite from nursery's or hydroponic stores etc, or you could probably order it online.
