... I dont have an incubator!

I wasnt even sure she took from my cinnamon male,so I am pretty much caught off guard.I went to Lowe's and bought a bag of vermiculite,and stopped off at a pet shopto pick up a few of the "ice chests" they get fish delivered in.What can I do to ensure the eggs stay safe till tommorow when I can get to the feed store to buy an incubator?I also picked up a thermometer from lowe's with the probe sensor,I was thiking maybe I would be able to put one of my heating pads in the chest and then put the egg container in it sealed up till tommorow.I candled the eggs with a flashlight and they all have veins.

I also took a pic to show the size of the eggs since I have never seen one before today

I didnt want the eggs to get anything stuck to them in her tub,especially the bottom.I didnt want to risk tearing them when trying to remove them or anything.I think they will be fine in my temporary incubator,they temp is holding strong at 89 degrees
