From US to UK, I'm assuming theres no way they would survive the journey?

I have been trying to get Cayuga's and Welsh Harlequins but everyone has stopped for the winter here now so I can't get any, look's like I'll have to wait until spring

no idea about shipping that far
banti has WH and chaos has 2 cayuga babies, i have access to cayuga eggs, but they are done for the season

Why not? It's what I started with.

They should survive the flight. Not sure about import/export law though.

Neither am I, it's not something I have considered before but I also keep reptiles and I know people recieve shipments from the US so I guess it shouldn't be too hard to find out?

Depends how many stops they make.... Hatch rate would be lowered, I think, and it would be expensive.... Very expensive!!

There might also be regulations on shipping eggs overseas

I really want some fluffy "Burdz" so I can justify spending a little, how expensive do you think? more than $200?

That's cuz yer Chaos, shipped eggs are harder to deal with and usually need special care with air cells ETC, just better to have less stuff to worry about.

Shouldn't be to hard to find out.
To ship a 2.5 KG package via FedEx to London is right around $100.
