then why do people use it for setting reptile eggs in (such as bearded dragons) during incubation..I want to breed my bearded dragons in like a year or so.
After they hatch the babies will most likely not eat until they have had their first shed - which on average is about a week later. Remove access to the vermiculite and just use paper towels as a subtrate and create a standard moist hide. So after they shed, just offer them food and they should eventually start eat by themselves. The food offered should be no bigger than the width between the eyes. Thats is pretty much, most people don't normally have any problems raising leopard gecko bubs. Hope this helps!
