Axolotl eggs query

[Axle wiski]

Hi,

Axol, my golden albino laid eggs on the 24th November. I'm hoping to sell those developing well. Can you suggest an absolue cut-off for mailing and are they allowed outside UK? My spanish students are keen to have some.

As soon as you are sure that ANY of them are developing, I would recommend getting them into the mail immediately. Waiting longer usually means they have developed too far to ship them.

They are a CITES species, so shipping between countries is usually restricted (requires extra paperwork). But I don't know how that applies within the EU.

Many thanks for the speedy reply!

Shipping outside of the UK requires a lot of paperwork - I wouldn't bother personally. Look up the details on Welcome to CITES

Ship ASAP, overnight, and pack to prevent too much sloshing about.
