Look for the overnight option here: http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/reptile-supplies/reptile-incubators/
Also, do you know if they are fertile or not? did you mate her w/ another? in anycase the above reference should take care of your needs.

hey im not from the US im from hong kong and i there are no things like that here
are there any home made things? that i could use
and im pretty sure they are fertile because the pygmy used to be in a tank with a male and i bought her when she was REALLY fat.
these were captive bred and there were eggs in the tank aswell
so please any home made things?

hmmm. . .im not too sure on this but I would say a shallow bin with 50/50 peat moss and soil mix wet enough to where its not soaking but you can squease some water out of the mix. then your going to need to regulate the heat w/ a thermostat of some kind or just closly watch the temps to keep them around 75F and make sure the mix stays moist but don't drown the eggs.. . this is as far as my knowledge goes. . .hopefully someone else who konws more will help ya!

Well think before your taking the time hatching eggs. If you havent read anything about breeeding with pygmies since you dont have a clue what to do. I suggest you wait until next time and study a bit.
OR you study hard and follow our , other websites directions and tips. Read about how many degrees they're supposed to hatch in and etc.
First: Make an incubator, put vermeculite in a shoebox or something with a lid on, poke some holes on top , not too many so there will be an ecosystem.
Second: Place the eggs in the same position that they were layed in the terrarium.
Third: Waiting time, do not overwater the eggs, and dont dehydrate em. This is usally pretty easy. Just dont turn the eggs or anything, dont spray water on them etc. Drip som drops in the edges of the box if the eggs seeems dehydrated.
Im not an expert on pygmies thats why i cant help you more than giving these general egg care.

well thanks for the help guys!
im keeping all of them in a plastic container with damp soil without any fertilisers or anything like that
and the digital thermometer in there says 22.8 C degrees
if the temps went up to lets say 25 would the process of them hatching take shorter? like what i mean is would i wait shorter for them to be ready to hatch
and if 25 isnt a good temp then my friend is gonna lend me a mini refridgerator that can stay at 22 degrees
please comment thanks

How exciting and good for you for not just chucking them!

Temps in the range of 20c(68f) - 25c(77f) would be ideal. If the room stays in this range you do not need an incubator.
60-75 days would be the typical time to hatch. Don't try to raise the temp to much. Let the normal fluctuation in temps (in the good range) do all the work.
Another option not usually recommended is to let them hatch in the tank. Temps should be in the adequate range 70f(21c)-72f(22c) or so.

HOw do you know how they were laid? A friend found her in the bottom of the tiniest potted plant. She barely had the ability to get them out and they were stacked so she wasnt sure how they were laid..Does that really make a difference?
Also, when do you know if they are viable or not? Is there like a wait period that if they stay good past, they are pretty much in the clear?
