Get a plastic shoebox and some vermiculite (from Walmart's or a lawn and garden store.) completely soak it and then squeeze all the water out of it with your hands. Do this until you have about 2to 3 inches in the shoebox. Half way bury the eggs so the tops are visible (DO NOT turn the eggs at all.) Put a top on it and put a few small air holes on the side of the container. Keep the temp around 82 to 84 and they should hatch in around 60 to 70 days. Good luck.
