thanx a million Crocdoc for those answers
as for the light, i was just curious, i dont actually use a light to heat the incubator, i use heatpads hooked up to a helix thermostat to control the heat
as for the vermiculite, i didnt mean in regards to any paticular breeder, just all round heard it was better, it's what i used for my Leo eggs with no problem, but i will keep the perilite in mind for future refrence! thnx again!
Josh

Vermiculite has been in use for ages, which is part of the reason for its popularity - 'if it ain't broke, why fix it?'
Many people that have been breeding reptiles for years and have always used vermiculite mix water in by feel, rather than measuring it, knowing what feels right for success. In those cases Perlite takes some getting used to, for at the same water:substrate mix it is deceptively dry to the touch. When I incubated my first lot of monitor eggs last year a good friend felt the substrate and was convinced that I was dehyrdrating the eggs. He had me in a panic, too, until I found out he had only ever used vermiculite.

but i shouldn't switch them over to perlite?
i'd much prefer to do everything 100% by the books (or what works) as i'd hate to waste these eggs!

Vermiculite works, I'd probably leave them be.
