    moving with eggs
    Ok, I have a leo who should be laying any day. We are however moving to a new condo on Tuesday of this up-coming week and I expect her to lay before that. In the event she does lay before we move what are the proper precautions to take to make sure the eggs dont have too much of a dip in temp during move? I plan to have the rack be last thing moved and first thing plugged back in and were not going too far away (same city) but of course im still concerned about them :gj:

    Thoughts, suggestions, exc? Perhaps this could be helpful for other herp owners who have eggs also.

    I've done it before. Here are the things I did:

    Styrofoam cooler to keep the temps warm
    A LOT of cushioning to keep the eggs from rolling
    Someone else holding the box over the hills and dips to prevent any rolling

    How far is your drive? I moved twice last year...once was a 45 minute move...the second time was a 7 hour move :D

    I moved a couple clutches last year during the 45 minute commute. I was living in Kansas at the time and it was May, so temps outside were okay...I just didnt use the AC in my car, eggs come first! :gj:

    The difficult part wasnt the temps...it was making sure the eggs didnt roll in the incubator. I dont think you will have that sort of problem as much with leo eggs, but I had carpet python eggs set on egg crate...and it got interesting at times but they made it just fine and luckily hatched before the 7 hour move ;)

    I guess just dont focus on the temp, but that eggs can/will roll....so take it easy around those corners speed racer! :gj:
