How moist should a gecko laying box be?

The title said it all!

I just make sure the sand is damp enough to compact, it doesn't have to be exact, just make sure it is damp enough so the eggs do not dry out.

Ok cool, so how often do you mist your laying box or do you water it?

It should be moist enough to retain that moisture for at least a week so you you aren't constantly disturbing it. Once a week I tip it all out into a container, check for eggs and add a touch of water if needed.
