If you have a tropical fish tank, try popping them in a storage tub (with breathing holes) in the hood near (but not directly next to) the light. Other than that, I have no idea - because that worked for me. My margie eggs hatched in a large storage tub full of moss, very damp but not soaking wet - with about an inch or two of the base over a small heat mat. You have to be careful to check it doesn't over heat the moss inside, I found turning it a couple of times a day made for an even temp

I just kept mine in a mini poundland tank, lots of moss all around them and left them in the airing cupboard... 3 weeks later and all 30 of the eggs I had hatched Oh and I sprayed the moss daily. Nat

Mine laid literally hundreds of eggs!!! I hatched them in a mini plastic tank (like Nat) on a bed of damp coir covered in damp moss, i kept the mini tank on top of the lid of my fishtank and had great success that way ;D I can't remember how long they took to hatch, around 2-3 weeks i think.
Good luck and well done.
Anjie,x.
