First let me voice my own biased opinoin: I think letting the female take care of the eggs in temp controlled box is better than incubation. With that said, if you think shes going to lay that soon I would get the substrate ready. As far as temp and humidity everything is guess work without a digital instrument that measures temp and humidity and also records the min and max so you can see what is happening in a 24 hr cycle. My favortie device for temp controlling is a 1500watt max temp controller accurate within 1 degree that has a memory so if the power gets disconnected, I had the sensor probe located in the hide box where my female sat on the eggs which was connected to a space heater located in my reptile room. I have also seen some that are equipped with an alarm if the temp drops below a preset number. Anyway I think the more tools you have and a naturalistic approach (my opinion) you increase your chances of success. Good Luck!
