That seems fine too me, though I recommend perlite. But I am sure vermiculite does the job just as great.

I used it for my beardie eggs and it worked great just don't make it the vermiculite too moist.

I can't wait for my girl to lay too, she is in her bucket, but no digging yet

I wanted to use perlite, but my lowes only had perlite with miracle grow in it.

That is what we found too....they only had it with miracle grow in it at our Lowes also.
We have used he same one as you have got there I do believe.

I've used vermiculite for years...but it looks like you have the finer grade of it and the coarse works better at holding the moisture evenly IMHO.

I've used fine, medium and course grade and they all work great. You just have to do a moisture check once in a while and add water if you need to. The couse stuff does seem to need less water added throughout the incubation process.

They only had the fine stuff. :/
I'll just check moisture every couple days and add more water as needed.
