Tom does, look under the russian section.
Congrats btw, and pics would be great.
I answered this on my profile for you.
Here it is again:
I like to let them hang out in a warm brooder box (plastic shoe box) on damp paper towels for a week or so after hatching. I do this as soon as they exit the egg, and I don't leave them in the incubator. They also start eating the right foods in the shoe box which help prevent substrate ingestion once you move them over to a regular enclosure.
And some threads for you:
