I had my first clutch also this year and I've asked the same (probably) to many questions. My advice from everyone here is leave them alone. From what I've read is to check the vermiculite every couple of weeks to make sure it has moisture. The eggs look good. Good luck. Steve

What kind of info do you want? Temps, medium, duration? There are two main components Warmth and Humidity. Moist vermiculite works good, so does Perlite. Temps should be about 80 degrees. Keep moist but not soaked. About 60 days later they should hatch. You can check them with a penlight in the dark. If after a week or so they have veins and look pinkish they are probably good. If they look more yellowish and no veins then it's a dud but leave it with the others.
