Has she been with a male? Was she in a laying container and laid the eggs in a hole, or where they scattered in the cage? If she was not with a male, no point in incubating them. If she was I would be concerned that she has more eggs to lay, I have never had or seen a female lay only 2 eggs, unless infertile. She may have more in her and that would be my main priority. Feel her belly gently, see if you can feel marble like objects in there. Temp 82-84, vermiculite as a substrate, 2/3 of the egg buried, if you get them soon after she lays them the position is not very important just bury them on their side, and vermiculite damp so when you pinch it droplets form......but not soggy.
