Good thing,I feel happy for you.
You'd better use vermiculite and at least half bury the eggs within this substrate,and not make it too damp,or the embryos may die drowning .Sphagnum may work,but I would be afraid of too much moisture.If it is a first clutch,cross fingers for you,but most of them are not fertile.Try incubation anyway and see what happens.

They are in vermiculite that was just mummys laying box. Im not having her eat vermiculite as I have seen leos do it in the past and I checked on her often so I knew if there were eggs they wouldnt spoil.
One question I do have is do you just add more water to the verm if it dries out or should you do anything regularly to it. I am confident if the eggs dipped Id be able to get the up again using the paper towel technique or one of the other methods but I wasnt sure if Id need to regularly moisten the verm around the eggs? I know not to spray or let it get too wet or the eggs will expand.

Thanks Tombraider Anthony feel free to help with my question

Yes, you can add water to it, if it starts getting dry, but only a little bit. To test how dry the Vermiculite is, pick abit up and squeeze it in your fingers, if water drops out you are ok, if nothing comes out and it feels dry, add a little cap full of water to the mixture, or acouple depending on how big your incubator is

Do you have any pictures of your incubaotr, then i could give oyu an accurate amont of water to add ... if you need any more help pm me, as i rarely look in this section, that is why i haven't replied sooner
