the white pebble stuff is perlite and it is just as good as the vermiculite i have had good success with my veileds incubating at 75 degrees and a humidity percentage of about 70% as far as a laing bin i use a five gallon bucket in my females cage

I have been keeping/breeding/raising chameleons for many years and have incubated the veiled eggs between 72 and 74F in shebox sized tupperware type containers filled about half full of barely moist coarse grained vermiculite. I have had close to 100% hatch rate of fertile eggs. My incubator is homemade and open to the air so the temperature fluctuates slightly with the room temperature.
