Vermiculite vs. Hatch Rite Opinions?

[cheylan10]

As I have stated in previous posts our little Skittles (11 month old ambilobe) laid her very first clutch a few weeks ago. Anywho we recruit placed the eggs in our sick incubation system I am curious as to what substrate formula you all prefer Vermiculite or Hatch Rite. From what I have heard and researched Vermiculite is the best decision but our incubator came with a free bag of Hatch Rite and I'm curious as to the hidden possibilities of this stuff. If anyone has any positives/negatives about either product I'm very much interested in hearing it. I want to choose the very best one for the little huevos. Please feel free to post your opinions

Thanks

I'm using Hatchrite currently for my 20 Nosy Be eggs. So far so good. My incubator temp is at a steady 74. I'm a bit over a week with the eggs and all are still a lovely white.

I have had great success with HatchRite with Panther eggs in the past and currently use it for my gegkos...its easy and works.

I recently did a test trying vermiculite, hatch rite and perlite. And I listed them in order of my preference

I have 2 clutches of panther eggs in hatchrite now, and they are all doing great and are nice and white.

when eggs are incubating is it ok for the temp to change? during the day mine are at 77 and at night 80?

I am using HatchRite right now, and it's hatching out my Veiled's as I type this. Great stuff and I will recommend it to anyone!

I like hatchrite..as of right now i am using some of allen repashy's superhatch, its worked great for me in the past for leopard geckos, and three batches of veileds, and anoles...
