Question:

Hydroponic Vermiculite-Reusable?

Can you re-use Vermiculite in the same way as Hydroton?

Answer:

I generally use perlite as it has a low chance of getting too wet and clinging to eggs. Vermiculite with excess water will cling and drown snakes. There's no chance of that with perlite. Of the two I'd use moss, but it's more difficult to keep the moisture levels at a proper level. It can also get wet enough to drown the eggs. Perhaps a mix of the two would be suitable. Just use caution that neither drips water or is so wet that it sticks to the eggs. Vermiculite should be just wet enough that it clumps when you squeeze it.
