Re: Eggs for sale
I would like a River species egg too!!

So I doubt seriously that shipping an egg would cause it to not hatch, or at least the bumpyness of shipping the egg. I'm sure if the egg was packaged where it wasn't able to move much it would be just fine.... Heat on the other hand is a totally different matter.
I guess reptile eggs are more resilient than I would have thought after reading Jay_Bunny's post. But I still envision the way carrier services handle packages and cringe at the thought of shipping an egg of any kind.

I think it would be possible with enough insulation, padding, and warnings on the box of the contents, you could safely ship eggs if you gave them enough heat. You'd also have to test the package for heat fluctuations (take the box out for a car ride and record temps in the box during both hot and cold weather). If the temperature remained somewhat constant, the eggs should be fine. My eggs not only fell a foot and a half out of the incubator, possibly rolled, experienced a drop in temperature from 88 to 69, possibly spent hours in this condition, but they also experience a 2 degree sway during incubation (sometimes up to 3). So far, the four that survived the fall are alive and well. I think ball python eggs could survive shipping.
Now, would I ever ship eggs? No. Who in their right mind would pass up on seeing those little heads pop out of the egg and witness their first experiences of life (1st shed, 1st meal, etc)?

this is the answer when i ask him about river egg:
I do not have the river specie any longer. I just sold them out and the eggs to a breeder in Germany. So, I do not have that specie now and don't intend getting another. I'll take that out of my list. So, which are the eggs you will want to get? Where are you located?

Re: Eggs for sale
Tell him you are in Nigeria, then he won't have to ship his eggs very far.

This is the response I got:
Hello,
Thank you for the mail. The eggs are wrapped in tissues before placed in the box. Also, tissues/cotton is placed in the box and around before the eggs are placed in the box for transportation. If a box is not used, the eggs will be shipped in an incubator but the incubator will be returned after the eggs are received. I do not have the river eggs now, they were bought yesterday by another breeder in Germany. I shipped the eggs yesterday to Germany, I just sold out the parents of the river specie too, so I do not have this specie again and don't intend getting another. I'm in Tx, my snakes lay the eggs and I also do collection from other breeders. shipping is not included in the prices, if you can place your order, I will give you the summary of your order with the shipping cost to Canada. Which are the species you are interested in and how many each?
waiting to hear from you soon.
thanks

Re: Eggs for sale
I just sent him "nice" email....
Where do these people get off?!

Here is his response when I ordered an Albino egg which are suppose to be $25! Also he wants Western Union or Bank transfer so there is no recourse if he ripps you off!
Taking just one egg will be expensive for postage. postage cost $55 and the egg cost $100, this makes a total of $155. I will give you one additional free egg of the albino. So, I will be sending you two eggs but you will pay for one, postage remains the same. I will need your full names too. Payment is via western union for small orders like this and large orders via bank transfer. I can assure you that everything will go well and we will definitely do more in the future.
