Using a tank for an incubator might be safer. My egg laying set up is a nest box in a twenty gal. tank. I have a small blue light over it and it holds pretty steady temperature and humidity. I have it in a draft free area where the temperature is fairly stable.

You can use a cracked or damaged tank. It is good enough and you could make some kind of lid that holds temp and humidity. It could be adjustable. Keep working on it. You will get it right by the time you have eggs.

Your meal worms will start multiplying right away. Remember to give them some carrot or apple peal. That will give them moisture. Is the shoe box card board? I would watch out in case they eat their way out of the box. That could get messy.
