Well, I ended up importing three breeder bags of the stuff. I put my first clutch in yesterday.
I too was terrified I got the wrong stuff because it looked and felt so dry when surveying the bag. Once you open it though, you can feel the dampness of it! I LOVE the ease of just making sure the bag is the right temperature, pouring some into your egg container, adding the eggs, put on the lid, DONE!
By the way the pricing is DEFINITELY worth it if you can import it yourself. I paid only about $12 more than the american breeders pay for the three bags after taxes, duty and the cost of recieveing the package at my american mailbox. Exchange is GREAT right now!
I think even if you are just incubating normals, the babies you get should be able to pay for the security of using this hatching media
Anyway, just my two cents!

Oh and I have used vermiculite, as well as the moss method, both worked just fine, but they took a lot more of my time and effort to set up, you just have to figure out what value you put on YOUR time and effort!
