Hi Chris,
I have had poor results with perlite, ok results with peat moss and
reliable results with vermiculite. I prefer the big chunks. The small
granular version is small enough to be ingested by hatchlings. R. ciliatus
seems prone to this. A couple years ago Julie posted she puts the
vermiculite in nylon stockings to prevent this. Works well. I havent had
the problem using the larger grade.
