Default Can I move the L. Williamsi eggs?

Last night, my female took the "I am going to lay eggs" position in my brom. She was still there this morning. The problem is, my brom is dying. I was going to change the spot it was in so that the roots aren't so damp, but them the Mrs. claimed her spot. Can I move the eggs or at least the brom without damaging the eggs?

I was planning on just keeping the eggs with the adults and placing a cup or cheese cloth over them.

it depends on if the eggs are glued or not. if they are adhered you may have to sacrifice that brom leaf and cut out the protion with the eggs.

My female glued her eggs to a bromeliad leaf--I just cut the leaf off and stuck it in a deli cup with some damp moss.
If they are glued, then whatever they're on will have to be carefully cut--never try to remove them from something they're glued to.
If they're loose, then sure, you can move them. I recommend using some sort of little scoop, as they're exceptionally fragile. Don't worry about them turning--that's a myth anyhow, and they're not going to mind being moved once or twice to put them in incubation.
