Good luck! Let me know if you need any help. If you are shipping in the US, how do you plan to ship? Through what carrier I mean? I would really caution you about the weather...it's pretty cold in certain parts, too cold to ship unless emergency. Even if you live in a warm climate, many shipping carriers route packages through their main hub...for instance Airborne Express main hub is in Ohio. If it's cold in Ohio, no matter where you are shipping to, your box will process through there. Make sure you use heat packs (48-hour packs) and pack carefully if you must ship. I would, at this stage in the year, really recommend using a same-day shipping option. I know everyone has their horror stories and personal favorites, but I have used Delta Airlines' DASH service (VIP-Very Important Pet cargo shipping) same-day domestic air shipping and it has always been top notch. I would not hesitate to recommend them. I think cold-blooded reptiles (if they are small and in one box) would be about $62 including tax for domestic same-day air. Let me know if you have questions.
