I have had success using dirt, sand, or a mixture of both moistened so it clups together well. However, the dirt holds moisture better than dirt and the sand can tend to draw water away from the eggs if not moist enough. You can use either, and you can get them at home depot, lowes, any garden center or nursery.

We keep one end of the enclosure ready for this. We have a 70% Top soil 30% sand mix. Make sure you get Top Soil with no Fertilizers added. I have about 1 foot of this at one end of the enclosure. I keep it moist but not soaked. The Dragon just need to be able to dig a burro without it caving in. Good Luck.
