Congratulations!
Do you have a male?
They have to be fertilized *before* they are laid...
And you care for them the same way as snake eggs... vermiculite, moisture... heat...

You can hatch them in a Rubbermaid tub. She, I believe, can hold the sperm for a few months until she needs it. Many reptiles can; not sure about her.
