Question:

Is vermiculite a good choice for insulating my exterior walls?

Is there some reason why I should not funnel vermiculite or perlite into my existing uninsulated house walls? People keep telling me to blow in cellulose, but that process is very messy and sometimes doesn't do a complete fill. Any advice would be appreciated.

Answer:

Infertile eggs actual have a tendency to be yellow. in spite of the undeniable fact that if the eggs are dented i might want to in spite of the undeniable fact that positioned them in an incubator until eventually they mould through the actuality they're in a position to in spite of the undeniable fact that be fertile and placed across thoroughly wholesome toddlers
If the egg is deflated looking, try covering it with some moist vermiculite/perlite. Some breeders have also suggested placing a moist paper towel over it. It could be that the humidity is not high enough. Sometimes it takes a couple of days for it to inflate again after being too dry. If the gecko JUST laid it today, give it some time to start checking to see if it's infertile or not. Sometimes you can't see red veins right away, so I'd give it a couple of weeks before checking again. I made my incubator with a styrofoam box, heat mat hooked up to a thermostat, digital thermometer, bowl of water on the heat mat, and a box of eggs in moist vermiculite (wetted the vermiculite then squeezed out the water). For leopard geckos...temperature was set at 83F for mine, but you can have a range of 79-83 for mostly females and 88-90 for mostly males...or in between for a mix. I'd still incubate the egg until it either completely deflates or starts smelling bad.
