Is spiderlife by prorep essentially vermiculite? I'm not familiar with that product...

Yes it is. It's what I was told to use by the reptile centre

At the moment I'm using play sand mixed with water. Spiderlife is substrate for tarantula. I was using to mix it with vermiculite by a few different breeders and pet shops

Honestly, Id stay away from vermiculite and spiderlife (which is just coconut coir and vermiculite mixed together). Vermiculite is something great to keep the eggs on when they are laid, but not good to have in an enclosure for any reason. Its insanely 'sticky' around any moisture, so if your dragon gets it anywhere near its mouth, its not getting out without being swallowed. Since its so sharp, its not a good thing to try to pass through the digestive tract. Just use eco earth, coconut coir, peat moss mixed with topsoil and you should be all good.
