Shipping dragons?

[snowdragon]

Just wondering how you ship dragons. Do you box the dragon before you take them to Fedex or do you take the dragon to Fedex and they box them for you?

Fedex wont ship them if you are not a registered Fedex live animal shipper. So if you arent than you will need to use UPS or shipyourreptiles.com (cheaper alternative as it uses UPS but has a coorporate UPS account). They have all the instructions on there. You have to use a box like the ones on that site though. Crush test certified at over 200lbs with the styrofoam insulated insurts and at this time of the year (depending on where yo uare) you will need a heat pack as well.

Would it be ok to ship two dragons in the same box?

so long as each was in its own bag it would be fine.

Anything can die during shipping. Breeders have been shipping BD for a long time and all the shipments I have gotten have been in great health. Dragons will be fine aslong as they are shipped right.

was the point of this post just you hoping to get a rise out of someone cause it was the most ignorant statement i have ever seen. i have shipped numerous times and never had one die. You need to adjust the way you try to give "advice" cause that was a foolish comment on your part.

You can search the threads on Fuanaclassifieds in the shipping forum and there is a lot of advice on shipping with heat or cold packs as well as packing advice. I do suggest getting FedEx live reptile shipped certified, it's free, and will give you some confidence.

Shipping 2 animals is no problem. People ship large lots of dragons all the time.
