Question:

What could i provide my Leopard gecko with while she is pregnant? a nest?!? HELPPP?

could i have your opinion on what i should put in her cage with her, so she lays her eggs? help please it could only be a few days untill she lays

Answer:

They look the same to me. As far as I know they serve the same purpose. I think both absorb and hold water and keep the soil from compacting allowing easy root movement. My best answer is I do not believe there is a difference
Perilite is white and looks like little pieces of Styrofoam, vermiculite is used to pack hazardous chemicals in to ship and looks to be a combo of wood and is more absorbent, I would say both is not necessary. Vermiculite is more expensive than perilite which is why (i think) you see more perilite in plants. I would go for the vermiculite.
