Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Al,
I ship nationwide in the cold like that in insulated boxes, with heat packs. If you want to make sure a little more that the animal arrives well, you can ship it to the customer counter of the carrier and mark to keep the box inside and keep warm and then the box will stay inside in the temperature controlled environment. This is what I do when shiping tduring the winter when the temps are a little colder than I like to ship to the house/business. This is also how I ship my Chameleons during the summer month with cool packs.

Al,
The key to shipping in cold weather is obviously a styrofoam lined cardboard box and a heat pack. WAL-MART carries 18 h heat packs (they are in the hunting department) that cost $1.97 for a pack of 3. One of those is enough to maintain the temp in 12x12x12 for overnight shipping. If you drop your box at the counter as suggested, let's say at 4 pm you will make sure the reptile arrives still warm by noon next day.

Al,
The number of holes depends on how many animals I am shipping in the same box (5 -10 holes). Piercing the Styro lid with a pencil or any other object does the trick. In general I do not poke holes in the cardboard box. The only thing I do is just tape once accross the top, thus leaving plenty of air circulation under the flaps. If you want to add additional holes you can poke them with the pencil in each of the top four corners of the box. Never had a problem shipping that way.
Hope that helped.
