I currently have Rio Fuerte Beaded Lizard eggs and Veiled Chameleon eggs on hatchrite. I like it, takes all the guess work out! I have not had to add any water to my eggs in approx 2 months. A friend of mine who tried it also likes it. I have 2 bags and a 20lb breeder bag and I intend to use it everytime! I do wish the breeder bag would come in something resealable, make sure if you get it you have something you can put it in that seals once you open it or you'll lose all the moisture. I will have 3-4 clutches of panther eggs in the next few weeks which will also all be on hatchrite!

I generally use vermiculite for my cham eggs but use hatchrite for gecko eggs because it can often dry out over a long period of time (i.e. chameleon eggs). Gecko eggs take a much shorter time to hatch so there is less chance that it will dry out over the course of the incubation. However, I didn't have any vermiculite on hand a while back when one of my carpets laid her eggs so I used hatchrite and currently have 2 babies from the clutch that have hatched and the rest of the eggs look like they could be popping out any minute.

I use hatchrite for chameleons but it does tend to dry out over time and I have to moisten it every few weeks if I have holes in the deli cups. If I put it in a container without holes I rarely have to moisten it. I also use hatchrite for crested geckos and CKanoles. I like it.
