How to ship a beardie?

[DragonsInKansas]

How do you ship a beardie? I've had a baby shipped to me before but I've never had to send one. I know how to actually "package" them but how do you actually ship it? What company do you go through? Do you stick the "stay out of heat" stickers all over it or do they?

UPS, USPS, and FedEx are all common shippers of live animals. They ARE supposed to do it, so if they give you a hard time, reference their websites. :lol:

Just get the fastest overnight shipping possible. You might have to ask them for the stickers or apply them yourself, I'd ask the person at the desk, I'm sure they sell the stickers. And make sure to check the weather/temps of the area they are leaving from and going to.. Apply heat packs and cold packs as necessary.

Thank you Thank you Thank you! I'm thinking I might have to cut down on my beardie numbers and I didn't want to start offering to ship people my beardies if I didn't know how to ship them. Thank you.

shipyourreptiles.com is probably the easiest and is the second cheapest way to ship

best prices come from becoming a certified live animal shipper with fedex but that is a very long drawn out process to go through.

yea, if a was a breeder I'd go that route for sure. I'm just looking to send one or two as a one time thing
