Jon, It's been a while since I hatched any of these but I thought I'd respond in case no one else does. You don't want this type of egg resting on damp vermiculite or anything similar. I had success putting the eggs on dry sand in a humid container. I used a small plastic jar lid with the eggs nestled in sand but not covered by it. Then, I placed that jar lid inside of a plastic storage container with a layer of slightly damp vermiculite or other medium on the bottom and put a lid on it with a small hole for some air exchange. In this way my eggs weren't resting on anything too damp but they were in a slightly humid atmosphere.
I don't have record of the temps I used but using the temps you use for leopard geckos won't hurt. I wanted to make sure my methods weren't too far off so I did a search. Here is a nice site on Helmeted geckos: http://hem.bredband.net/geckos/ Hope this helps. I quite enjoyed working with these fun little guys.
