Leopard Gecko Egg Laying Problem?

I have my first pregnant leopard gecko. She just laid her first two eggs. The problem is, she doesn‘t lay them in the moist box in her tank. She knows its there, ive seen her hang out in it alot. She laid her first two eggs over night, and by the time i found them, they were completely dried out.My question is:Will it hurt the gecko if I keep her in a tank filled with peat moss, compressed coconut fiber, vermiculite (probably not), other types of moss, etc. anything that will hold moisture, so that way the eggs will not dry out.Please, only proffesionals. I do not want anyone giving me their opinions, just facts. If there is some sort of substrate that i can use, please tell me.Thank you

Answer:

take the cover off on the center of the wheel unscrew the big nut then keep hitting the wheel from underneath with your palm it will loosen on the spline then just pull off
Just don't feed in that container
This happend with me for an prolonged time get a geko egg cage save it moist and mossy and permit her lay the eggs in it or positioned it in it your self then positioned them in a incubator and dont circulate the eggs or it wil drwon then positioned water in the incubator daily.
I personally use coconut fiber. I like the kind made by eco earth. The other brands have actual pieces of bark in them, so I don't like it, and my geckos don't like to lay in it either. Then on top of my tank I have a little dripper to keep it moist. I know that a lot of people will say that they will get impacted from coconut fiber, but I've had no problems, and my geckos like having live plants in their tank. Hopefully that helps :)
