Does anyone know if there are any tortoise eggs for sale anywhere or ever? Haven't seen any ads. I am interested in learning how to incubate them. Thanks!

You can't ship or move turtle/tortoise eggs, it will kill the embryos inside. That's why you never see ads for them.

Itort said:Unlike poutry eggs, in which the embryo is free-floating in white, in reptile eggs the embryo is attached to the eggshell.By turning the egg, the embryo will be torn lose this connection and either drownd or hemerrage. The eggs you see shipped are poultry, which can withstand shipping stresses but even this have no guarentee from seller. Everyone I know buys and sells day-old poultry for this reason.
