    Eggs for sale
    What's with this?! One of the worst scams I've seen! Regardless of the fact that he could just send any ol' egg to you, how horrible is that to even think of shipping eggs. Sounds like a great way to make scrambled eggs to me. Sheesh!

    I've seen people do this with bird eggs too. Its a big risk with some of the more expensive ones, but common practice with quail, game hen, pheasants, and the like. I don't know how it works for herps. I wouldn't risk it.

    How interesting. It would be enlighting to see what he is charging. If they didn't hatch then he could say it was all your fault. What does "available in stuck and ready for incubation" mean? Can you buy only one egg? LOL If the price was right I might just be interested to see what I got.

    And what is a "river" egg?

    Bird eggs are supposed to be moved/rotated. I would think any bump could cause the death of the embryo in reptile eggs. I won't even go into the temperature issue. I like how he says they are "tested". I'm just shocked anyone would even consider selling/shipping eggs. :(

    Not the first time I've seen it, and probably won't be the last.
