Perlite or other?

[Leo844]

My adult female leo, Leah, mated with my male gecko (no they don't live together, rather through a complicated series of events this happened). So if she lays eggs, I do plan on incubating them. So I've been reading on incubating, and it seems pretty straight forward, just one question. To incubate the eggs, do I have to use perlite or vermiculite? Is there anything else I can use?

There is a variety of stuff, including something called "hatchrite" that's supposed to be a good incubation substrate when mixed with water. I have always used perlite successfully. Here is a link to some directions about preparing the perlite:
