Tropical 90-92% humidity is w-a-a-a-y to high for leopard geckos. Normal house humidity of around 50% is ideal, and inside a moist hide box should be around 70%.

My question is in regards to egg incubation......50% humidity seems too low for incubating eggs......

The best way to measure the moisture, is just to wet the substrate and squeeze it out till you can't get anymore water out. Then it's just right. As time goes by you may need to add more water, but just let it run down the side of the container never dripping on the egg. Build up of condinsation on the sides is good, but not on the egg or the top of container so that it drips on the egg. This can and most likely will cause the eggs to mold.
