Can I use eco earth for crested gecko eggs?

About two days ago I found two eggs and I currently have them on eco earth. The thing about it is that it gets too moist. Meanwhile I order some vermiculite or hatchrite oline, what can I use instead of eco earth?

    How does it get too moist? Just put less water. I know a couple who use it in incubation without a problem. Besides that though, don't you have any kind of hardware or garden center nearby? They almost always carry perlite or vermiculite, both of which are good hatching mediums. Just make absolutely sure that no chemicals were added.

    You may lose the eggs while waiting for the proper media. In the meantime make sure your incubator is also at the proper temps and humidity. From here on out have vermiculite on hand.
