I was using Vermiculite but I was not very fond of it. I just picked up some Repashy SuperHatch. My female crested just layed her first clutch and I replaced the Vermiculite with the SuperHatch. So has anybody used it or heard good things about it?

I prefer to use Perlite, without the growth additives in it,
the stuff with additives encourages mould to grow on the eggs and will kill them.

I have used it and liked it very much. Just poured what I needed into a bowl, let it soak for about 15 minutes. Drained the access water and let it dry for about 15 minutes. Placed my eggs in the container, sealed it up and basically forgot about the container, just opened it up once a week for air exchange.

I would recommend placing a few small holes in the container and opening the container once a week for airings. Never had the medium dry out with the 2 small holes in the container either.
