Transporting eggs of geckos

[Gekkotan]

Its possible to transport or even mail geckos eggs without any harm? I know this is almost impossible with soft shelled ones like eublepharines and diplodactylines, but and with hard shelled? When I was a child I colected Hemidactylus mabouia eggs with no worry to orientation and they always hatches. What do you know about other species? Thanks

I've heard of this being done with crested gecko eggs, but personally, I would never risk it. I can't veryify this, but I've heard that if you tip an egg after a certain amount of time the embryo can drown, and with shipping, you know your box is not guaranteed to sit upright constantly.

IMO this isn't really worth a try.

A few years ago I bought a pair of Paroedura Picta from a pet store. They had laid eggs in their cage and the guy gave them to me. He put them on some moist paper towels in a small box for the ride home. I'm sure they rolled around some in there. One ended up hatching and the other didn't, but I still agree it shouldn't be attempted.
