Heath,
There's a thread in the shipping forum describing in detail how to ship reptiles. Good information. The lab expects you to send them the box exactly as if you were sending your snakes (except for the heat packs!). You can send your box inside another one for additional protection. As far as the shipping itself we don't have a FedEx shipping station in town, just the trucks that will stop by their pick-up spots at a stated time. That works perfect for us because we pick the last spot before they ride to the airport, thus minimizing the time the animals are in transit. Otherwise you just walk to the counter and fill out the form for sending packages. Make sure you specify priority overnight delivery by marking the right box. The employee at the office can help you out. Be prepared as some employees might not like to have a box with snakes at their office waiting for the pick-up truck. Try to pick up a time for drop-off when there's not a lot of people at the counter. You will be authorized but the other customers around you don't know about it.
Good luck.
