Q:Where to find few bags of Vermiculite in Austin TX?

They seem fine. What type of geckos are they? A particular morph? If they're giant mixed with something, it could be one got the giant and one didn't. One might be dead. Try candling them with a flashlight. Don't turn them upside down! This WILL kill them.

Q:bearded dragon VERY URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

You are QUICKLY going to fry the eggs with that setup! They need to be kept between 82-84 degrees, and they do not need light. I have been hatching reptile eggs for decades, and have never owned a commercial incubator. Use a plastic container with airholes in it. Set the eggs up on cypress mulch, perlite, or even paper towels, and moisten it slightly. Then warm the container to the desired temperature- a light shining on the container is ok, but don't cook it.

Q:i was going to mix coconut coir into my potting soil (which is mushroom compost, topsoil, fine bark and pumice). should i add one of the above to help aerate the soil?

I personally would never use vermiculite. This stuff can stick to the gecko. If she goes in to shed, she has a higher chance of swallowing vermiculite if it sticks to her skin. Sphagnum moss is great, and so is EcoEarth or Bed-a-Beast. I use EcoEarth for all of my lay boxes (cresties and leos). It stays moist for a longer time than sphagnum moss (according to my experience anyways). It's easier to gently dig through to find eggs. And it doesn't get tracked out of the lay box like the moss sometimes. Sometimes the moss gets tangled up on their feet/legs and gets dragged out.

Q:This insulation is in the attic and was added by the previousowner as a DIY I am selling my house now and wonder howmuch it costs to remove it from a 1500sqft house attic. If I shouldinclude it in the offer?

Vermiculite perhaps?

Q:what is the best vermiculite to use in my bearded dragon cage?

You mean cocoshell fibers? Yes, they could replace bagasse in a soil-less mix. But most potting soils are actually soil-less mixes. Why not just get some? Using either bagasse or coconut fiber by themselves would NOT make a good planting media.

Q:I am building a rocket stove, basically a large cylinder with a smaller cylinder inside it. The smaller cylinder has the insulating material around it between it and the larger cylinder. What materials could I put between these two cylinders to insulate from the extreme heat?? Because I do not know where I can get vermiculite or perlite as suggested in the youtube videos. Thanks for your help.

It may not attack the eggs now, but if the mold continues to grow, it may destroy all eggs. I would scoop as much of the mold out as you can and then let it dry out a little, maybe stop adding water to it.

Q:Because planter boxes don't go through all the way to the ground which type works best in those boxes

The vermiculite is sold at gardening stores, the flour at health food stores (you really don't need the organic), but the organic is available at whole foods and like stores.
