I had an old kritter keeper I wasn't using so I paid the kid next door a buck to catch a few isopods and i set them up in it hoping to eventually breed a colony for my Emperor tank

Anyways I was down to 2 crickets both of which happen to be female so I figured why not and put the divider in the kritter keeper along with moist eco earth and heat pad plus the crickets over night and I covered that section with plastic wrap for humidity plus I duct taped the vents

And I've read that it takes about 2-3 weeks before results but it's been a week I have what appear to be baby crickets,I would just like confirmation that it can happen this quickly as I would rather not be raising parasites

I have pictures of my setup but I had to use my laptop's webcam which only works in natural light so the angles are off and you can't actually see any detail but feedback on the setup in general would be appreciated

Yep. I've had them hatch in a week all the way up to more than a month after being laid.
