I just found this after coming home from the vet....
She's now in her lay box:
BUT.... I can't pick up her incubator until tomorrow.... what should I do??? I've got a container of perlite and some water, but how can I safely keep the temps up overnight? Heat light? Anything?
I wish I could help in this one. All I can say is bless you two. I will suggest and Someone please correct if I am wrong, I would think you might get through the night with a heat pad under the container and keep an eye on your temps with a digital probed thermometer until your incubator gets to you.

I've got a thermometer, but no heating pad... and I'm leaving for work in 20 minutes!!! I'm gonna have to use the heat lamp from a distance and hope for the best... arrgh!
Got the incubator, and they're in it... I'm just tweaking the temps now. I've heard anywhere between 80-85 is right, but is that the air temp, or the substrate temperature?
A smooshed poop, I think. I was gone most of the day, and when I came home I had an egg and some tiny poops. She layed 19 more eggs in her laybox after that....
