I would use ground up peat moss for the eggs, perlite just reduces soil compaction and has no way to retain water.

The link that Jess provided is one of the best out there for care and breeding. I use it as a resource all the time.
I personally am using Pangea's "Hatch 'Em" incubation material and am currently seeing how it retains moisture. I just poured in water so that the medium was wet but not dripping. This medium allows you to see when you need to add moisture as it turns a lighter shade red. I don't have any eggs on it yet as I want to make sure it holds up well. If I like it, then my pairs will be made and see how we fare. I figure if Pangea uses it and has so much obvious success, then I shouldn't have any issues.
I'm also kind of a Pangea snob. LOL I just like to use their products because when I order, I get points to use as a discount on later purchases. Might as well be rewarded for buying all of my supplies in one spot. The other bonus for me is that I'm in Michigan like Pangea is so often my orders are at my house two to three days after the initial order.
