I incubate all mine at room temps in my snake room...varies a bit but 82F-84F. In deli cups with damp vermiculite covered with a layer of dry sphagnum moss to keep the eggs a bit above the vermiculite. Haven't lost an egg yet this way.



By damp I mean it will barely clump when squeezed together. I add water if it dries out. Lids are opened twice a week for air exchange. When the time is close and moisture really appears on the underside of the lid I remove the lid and put the containers in a larger containers so the expelled moisture isn't trapped.
