Jason's got everything right. Make sure the incubation container has a lid to keep the moisture in. I've never dealt with Texas spineys, but if they're from a very arid environment, you may want to lower the water to substrate ratio. If this is the case you could try .7 parts water to 1 part vermiculite. The ratios are by weight, you can use a postage scale to measure out substrate and water. When you remove the eggs, put them in the incubation container in the same position in which they were laid. If the eggs are only slightly deflated, the may still be salavagable. You can open the container weekly for air exchange and to remove any dead (moldy, smelly) eggs.
