Congrats! I just got 26 eggs last Friday. I don't think you're supposed to mist the eggs. I don't remember why, but I remember reading it somewhere.
Check out the link below, it has a lot of info about incubating and taking care of the babies afterwards.

tupperware bowl or whatever your using for them. Also there is a mixture for vermiculite/water ratio. Can't remeber it but I think if you go to www.dachiu.com it has everything you'll need to know.

The water to vermiculite ratio is 1 part h2o to 2 parts vermiculite by weight (basically until you can pinch the vermiculite and get a drop out of it). Keep the cup of water in the incubator to keep the humidity up. if the eggs start to dent, mist the incubator (you need more humidity) NOT the eggs. Reptile eggs must "breath" if they are covered in water they will suffocate. If anyone else has anything to add I may be forgetting something at the moment.
