In a 9 inch deli-cup, lay a one inch (or so) bed of medium and bury the eggs approx half way.
In a 10 inch deli-cup, add enough water to float the 9 inch cup and let air in through 4 small holes. Close the lid on the larger cup and check the eggs every few days.
This method assures 100% humidity but the medium can still dessicate the eggs so an occasional heavy spray of water on the inside of the lid and light spray on the eggs will balance the available moisture for the eggs.
I like to see dew on the outer container and can stack the containers is a small closet, out of the moving air with a controlled temp of 80 or so.
I've also seen eggs hatch on damp newspaper in a bucket on the floor with a sheet of glass over it.....
