Uh oh, an egg.

I caught a western fence lizard the other day, which I brought home to keep and photograph for a few days. I was holding the lizard for a little bit today to take some pictures, and shortly after I put it back in the cage it laid an egg. I'm planning to let this lizard go A.S.A.P before it lays any more, but it's suddenly gotten unseasonably cold and rainy around here and I want to wait until it warms up a bit.

But now, I've got this egg. I've put it in a small cup with some torn-up paper towels on top of a heat pad for the short term, but don't know how to care for it long-term. What kind of conditions do I need to make to give this egg a chance?
