Whats the best and safest way to remove eggs from a nesting site without breaking them. For example a snake plant or inside a bamboo?

There really isn't a good way. If they are in snake plant you can cut the plant below where the eggs are and try very gently to peel them off or just cut around the eggs and put the whole thing in the incubator.

As for bamboo I know no way to get them out of or off of bamboo or glass. Its best to either take out the bamboo and put a cover on the ends or a cup over them if they are on the glass.

Good luck

the best way to remove eggs from the axil of a plant is to take a little piece of duct tape, loop it, and then put it at the end of long forceps or a small stick.
