well i am not sure about the humidity, usually i just dampen the vermiculite until it clumps together. if it is not moist enough the eggs will soften and you need to add more but to the vermiculite never on the eggs.
incubation time is 40-60 days with 53 being an average. i keep the temps at 83.

take care of those little eggies, and be sure to take pics of
WHO lives in there, in a month and a half or so!
