My Hercs aren't particularly fussy layers. They get a bit hyper for a day or two, lots of basking and then lay. I build them nest sites indoors; either a box about 8 inches deep or I use plastic dog baskets filled with soil and a little sand mixed topped off with a heat lamp. This gets a couple of pints of water stirred in each day.
If you do get eggs I'd incubare them at 29C first time round. More sucess is had with lower temperatures and you still get a good percentage of females at this temperature.
I havent used the incubator you mention, a hovabator works fine.
