i belong on a few turtle lists,aswell as a lizard list and ive been
hearing that verm. was bad for ages.
i t wish i still had the post someone gave us,something about there not
being actual asbestos in the verm. but that it had major amount of the
same stuff asbestos is made up of,or something.
i dont remember exactly.
what im wondering is how does that get to the embryo through the egg,or
is it more of a hazard when they hatch(between the time they hatch and
you remove them from the other eggs).
whats perlite again?
