Thanks for the quick replies. Are there any reasons that you choose what you do or not? |

I use a mixture of them both, I think I've already told you that though? I don't really have a reason for this, but on a few websites I saw that they use Vermiculite, others they use Perlite, then I saw a few that use both, so I thought I'd do that.
And it seems to have worked I think any of the 2/3 options would be fine though. Just as long as you keep it moist (But not too moist). _________________ 1.1.1 Crested Geckos

Yeah you did tell me, that's when I thought of starting this thread. Might help others choose which to use. |

I use vermiculite, purely because it was the only thing I could find in my local garden center. _________________
