There are a variety of products that have proven successful as incubator mediums, that is, the substance that the eggs rest directly in as they develop. When choosing a medium, there are a handful of factors that must be considered. You need something that will retain water and maintain humidity within the egg container, something sterile (or close to it) and something that will not promote excessive growth of molds or fungi. Most breeders and hobbyists turn to either perlite, vermiculite, or a combination of the two as their medium of choice. Both have proven highly successful, and render high hatch rates. Both of these substances are examples of naturally occurring siliceous rock. When heated to a proper temperature, they expand to many times their original volume, producing a very light, absorbent material that naturally resists molding.

Our Customer Feedback
Don’t take our word for it. Trust our customers
Personally my favorite reptile store. I don't typically buy any animals from pet shops but I do buy my feeders and reptile merchandise here. I like coming here mainly due to the staff. The girls that work there are always friendly and welcome my constant chatting. I like talking about the hobby as I keep so many reptiles. I have been to places that really don't have the time to talk. It's kept me coming back. The place is clean, stocked with tons of things we all need and really it's a great place all around to even just visit. Keep up the fantastic work all.
I ordered a Male Veiled Translucent Chameleon and 100 crickets from All Reptiles. Their packaging and Super fast shipping to Calgary are A+ top notch! Everything arrived alive and healthy and happy. Karen their reptile specialist was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet reptile anywhere in Canada. He is already starting his first shed with me and growing fast.
We spent 2 hours with David, he was super helpful, purchased critter cage, natural materials for the space with a leopard gecko (molten lavender). 1000 live crickets and everything needed to get our new pet Queso set up. They also do boarding services, so no worries about a solution for our new friend if we go away. Our 11 year old daughter is so happy with the new addition to our family!
