Leopard gecko incubation question

[ReneeC]

I know this is probably a silly question but here is goes:
How often should I remoisten the vermiculite that my eggs are in. It seems to drying out really fast and how should i do this, would a squirt bottle work?

Yeah I would say a squirt bottle would be fine. But make sure it's not too damp. When you squeeze the vermiculite, water shouldn't drip out. Your probably going to have to spray it everyday. What are you incubating it in? I use a chicken incubator that holds water. The water evaporates and keeps the vermiculite moist.

Typically, the vermiculite should be just damp and moist enough to stick to your skin when touched, but not soggy or "soupy"

dont you close up the case the eggs are in and then make some small vent holes?......

 

[tigeralbinokeeper]

Using a syringe worked best for me and i only dampened the vermiculite around the eggs.

I'm incubating them in a hovabator. And yes i have vent holes in the the case that they are in inside the incubator. Thanks for the help!!! :0)
