Can eggs be transported?

[agilitygirl]

I have a male and female dragon that were supposed to be 2 females. now they are a year old and I am considering breeding them for next year. But before I decide anything I would like to see what it's like to have baby beardies. Im wondering if I would be able to buy some eggs (if i can find someone who will give them to me) so that I can hatch them my self. There a a few breeders near me that are an hour to 2 hours away. Would the eggs survive the car ride home?

If they were just hatched, possibly, but I don't think any breeder would allow you to do that. It seems unethical IMO.

I can sum up in one word what its like to have baby beardies hatch from eggs - EXPENSIVE!!
And I mean very expensive lol.

it is at least a 25 hour a week commitment, lot's of babies = lots of mouths = $$$$$$$ (establish a couple roach bins first), my electric bill for my small 2 bdrm home (850 sq') is 176 on the budget plan (with gas heat), and it is a lot of work to build a reputation as a quality breeder. plan on a first year investment of around 3,000+

on the bright side, it gets somewhat routine after a while, the babies are a lot of fun and entertaining, if you truly love beardies, it can be very rewarding (it won't be at first, but it gets easier)

PS. i'd never in a million years sell eggs.

I drove across country with an incubator packed full of eggs plugged into my cigarette lighter. Hatch rates not effected.
