When we bred Veileds (we produced thousands each year) we used fine vermiculite (same as we currently still use with our Ball Python clutches) and added water to the point that I could pinch 1 or 2 drops of water when squeezing my fingers together. We incubated all of our veiled eggs in our shop under the work bench shelf at room temperature which was slightly warmer that 80 degree. We almost always had a 100% hatch rate with the babies normally being larger than the ones that we hatched in previous years using a hovabator. While there are those out there that hatch them using incubators we had awesome success with the room temp method. And normally the babies hatched with a just slightly longer incubation time that at a constant temp in an incubator.
