You could do that or play it safe and put it in a egglaying cage.

I suggest coconut fiber forest bedding (bought in little rectangles) and put leaf litter over it (substrate about 8-12")
keep cage at 85 degrease. and if ouy find eggs DONT TOUCH THEM If they are turned they will die
so just take the mother out... keep the cage at around 80-90 degrease and keeep the ground a little moist.
Good Luck
ps sry I could not answer your question...I live in texas

actually, RF23 ... if the eggs are under a few days old you can quickly transfer them to a warm incubator. Otherwise just leave them in the egg cage with the heat light above the eggs and keeping the substrate moist for when and IF they ever hatch.

You cannot tell whether the eggs are fertile or infertile. its just pot luck.
