I am offering FRESHEST laid zebra silkworm eggs for sale starting June 5th. Leave them at room temperature in tupperware with wet sponge to provide humidity. Some will most likely hatch in 10-14 days...some may not as they have gone into diapause. Put the eggs away in the fridge, tightly secured in a ziploc bag (they require very little air). Take them out two months later and they will hatch in 10 days. All eggs are fertile as their mating is monitored.

Silkworms will hatch at 65 degree room temp but just takes longer. DIY incubators are easy to make: simply use a large tupperware, place wet sponge or glass of water in it, next to your silkworm eggs, and a lamp over the container, closed to preserve humidity. Be ware of sellers that offer eggs for sale, without you knowing whether they are diapaused or not.
Paper vs. glued down petri dish
Obviously, a silk moth doesn't use a petri dish as her egg nest. A glued petri dish poses extra threat to the hatching eggs because of the potential for the glue to melt under high humidity and high heat. Hatchlings can stick to the glue and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Petri dish is great for laboratory work, but not for raising silkworms.
A silkmoth lays her egg in natural pattern, never overlapping them nor deposits them upside down or lays them on the side. Each egg is a perfect entity in its own right and does not scrape off easily. Plus, you can actually count the number of eggs and know for sure you aren't jipped :) Well, I just eye ball them, or simply stop counting once I reach that small number... you get the picture.
