I keep the eggs as I keep all my others. Near 82F and 80%-100%humidity should be fine.
Mine take anywhere from 42-52 days.

don't start cutting eggs if they haven't hatched in 52 days though, as crimsonking says. I've had lampropeltis eggs take 65 days at around 80 degrees.
a good way to sustain humidity, by the way, is to keep the eggs in a closed container (I use sphagnum moss, the stringy kind, NOT sphagnum "Peat" moss) and just watch to see that condensation is forming & stays on the insides of the container. that being the case, your humidity should be fine.
