Both vermiculite and Perlite work fine,.....even a mix of the two can work well. Just be damn sure you don't get the vermiculite with "Miracle-Gro" in it.

As mentioned, just be patient and give her the warmth in the 80's and a good nesting box. They often lay a few duds before the others. I'm sure she will lay whatever else is in her withing a couple more days. The cooler temps likely through things off, and no telling about the fertility of the eggs.

They can also sometimes retain sperm from the prior year and have fertile clutches. That happened to me for the first time last season and all 15 hatched.
