Yes. Put down a thick layer of damp sphagnum moss in a plastic box or cooler, put the clutch on top, and then pack in damp sphagnum moss on top of and around the eggs so that they can't possibly move. I did it in March with a spider x butter clutch and they all hatched fine.

yes.....do what they said.....eggs are tough

....a friend gave up balls...a few were setting on eggs...a couple batches were just thrown away...2 clutches were saveable....I hatched 5 for 5 and like 4 for 6 or something like that...they just drove home like 14 miles...but they were just sat on top of a box and carried to car...then thrown on floor in my truck and driven home....back on a box....laid on a table for awhile....then stuck into incubator and totally burried(they were really dry)....eggs can take it....

hatched a few normals ,pastels and a few yellow bellies from them....
