    I've used a sharpie with no ill effects.
    Lots of BPs, and still not enough!

    Pencil works great and doesn't 'bleed' all over the egg

    I have used sharpies on leopard gecko and corn eggs with no ill effect. I'm planning on using them when my ball lays, but I won't if it might be harmful.
