Instead of sand, would vermiculite be okay for the bottom of my chimenea?
You have to keep it very moist and humid. Dont drown the eggs in water though. Make sure when you get the eggs you dont turn them over or anything put them into the vermiculite the way you found them. Also you want half the egg to stick out and the other half to be covered. Just mist them twice a day and in 90 days or so you will have baby bearded dragons :)
They do not have to be moist but do need to be humid i placed mine in a damp vermiculite ( the vermiculite should clump together an when squeezed), but water shouldn't drip out. You used use water to control the temparature also helps keep a steady humidity. The main benefit of this incubation method is it is cheap to set up - the whole thing cost around ?20, which, seeing as at that point I didn't know whether there would be any viable eggs to incubate, was a very good result!
