Vermiculite

Bought some vermiculite today for to incubate my eggs on.

I bought the "Richgro" variety.

Just a question. On the back of the packaging it says;
- Inorganic, inert and sterile. Which is what i'd imagine you want for snake egg incubation.

The packaging then has some contradictory health warnings all over it.

Do they all have these health warnings? has anyone used the richgro brand?

Also i will be incubating stimmi eggs, what is a good verm to water ratio to use?

cheers in advance

Alex

Its Richgro's way of covering their butt if any thing goes wrong. I have used Brunnings brand from Bunnings sucessfully which had similar labelling.

i've also used the bunnings brand as well as an unnamed brand from a nursery,
both worked great, i don't see any reason not to use it, i think it all has the warning,

cheers,
steve.........
