(5l Fine) Pro Rep Vermiculite

(5l Fine) Pro Rep Vermiculite DescriptionPro Rep Vermiculite ProRep Vermiculite can be used as a
substrate for spiders or as an incubation medium for reptile eggs.
A 100% natural substrate made from exfoliated volcanic rock, it is
inert and will not decay or go mouldy. Directions: Place the
required amount of Vermiculite in a clean container. Add cold water
a little at a time until the correct moisture content is reached.
For use with spiders, place a 1-2 inches (2.5-5cm) layer of
moistened Vermiculite in the bottom of the tank. This substrate is
not recommended for burrowing species as it does not form burrows
easily - for these species use Spider Life Substrate. Spot-clean
regularly and change completely every 4 weeks, or sooner if
required. For use as an incubation medium place a thick layer of
moistened Vermiculite in the incubation box. A moisture ratio of
2:1 Vermiculite to water by weight is suitable for many species but
some species have different requirements. Carefully place the eggs
in the Vermiculite with the top third of the egg exposed.When
moving the eggs from the egg laying site to the Vermiculite take
care to keep them the same way up. If possible ensure that the eggs
do not touch each other during incubation. Please note that as
incubation of reptile eggs is a complex process that varies from
species to species, it is essential that you research the details
for each species before eggs are laid and have a suitable incubator
ready. Please use the menu above to select your choice and size.
