I incubate my eggs pretty simplistically. The eggs are placed inside plastic shoe boxes with a lid. A couple of small holes in the lid to allow some air exchange. The incubation media keeps the humididty up. I use either sphagnum moss or vermiculite that I wet real well and wring out until it is just damp with no visible water drops coming off any longer when squeezed. I line the boxes with this, place the eggs ontop of and partially in the media, and cover with damp (once again,not wet) paper towels placed LOOSELY over the eggs. As long as you can find a spot that stays in the mid to upper 70s to low to mid 80s, you should be fine. I keep my eggs in my herp room as it stays fairly warm due to heat sources. In the past I just kept them in my shed that was cooled with an AC unit to approximately 80 degrees. It got a bit cooler and warmer, but the range was in the good zone. Dont freak if you do not keep a constant temp!! As long as not too cool or hot, they will be fine. I have heard of folks placing them on top of their refrigerators where there was a WARM spot. You may be able to just put them inside a closet where the AC doesnt cool during the warmer months.
