I've read that some people hatch corn eggs by just putting them in a closet...no incubator. I would assume this requires a place that has a fairly steady and slightly warm temp compared to average room temperature.

I'd be real concerned that the uncontrolled heat pad that is being used right now is going to cook them.
The heat pad is not completely uncontrolled, however, I told her to remove it.

What is the temp in your reptile room? In mine it averages 82 so I just set my eggs up in plastic containers with vermiculite or pearlite and put them on a shelf until they hatch. I've done the incubator thing for years too but if your room is the right temp, you don't need to do anything.
Well, my reptile room is my bedroom, but that has thermostats and a space heater by the rack. Her basement (so she told me) is at an average 80 degrees right now because they haven't turned the air on yet.

Is there anyway I can get vermiculite/perilite fast? I know how to wet it, but I was always planning on ordering it for my own breeding purposes. I'm not sure where I could buy some that's not too far away?
