Bed-A-Beast for Incubating

[pincess_wy]

Just wondering if any of you all were familiar with the product called "Bed-A-Beast," and if so, could it be used effectively as a substrate for incubating ball python eggs? If not, what substrate(s) do you recommend besides vermiculite and spaghum moss?

Oh, and on another note-- I'm not going to try to hatch the eggs before I incubate them. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Very important safety tip!
Do NOT cross the streams.. Oh wait, wrong thought....


Hehe, I have never heard of anyone using such, but I am going to say most likely a BAD idea!
Bed-a-beast wasn't thought of to hold life giving moisture like the vermiculite mix does.
Not saying it won't work, but you are prolly looking at a LOT more work than if you stick to what most know works well. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

By work, I mean most likely rapid variations in the humidity levels, up and down, which are vital for continous incubation during the development stage.
Why take a chance on getting too moist or dry?

Yes, I definitely agree with ya about the old &quot;tried and true....&quot; I was just curious b/c I had seen the product at the store, and wondered if it would work any better. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Thanks!
