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.

Shipping? Will this be ok?
Will it be ok to ship overnight in a box with styrofoam box inside . Put the beardies in pillow cases ( seperate) loosley tied with 2 24 hour heating packs? They are both a year old and around 300 grams.They will be in the box approx 15-18 hours.
Thanks for your help

Is the box styrofoam lined or a styrofoam box in a box? If that is the case, it needs to be really really snug to keep from bouncing around the regular box it is inside. Be sure to ship with more than 1 heat pack, 1 at the bottom so the heat rises. Make sure they are shipped for NEXT MORNING arrival, never usps express, or overnight for afternoon arrival. Also, what I do is when I ship the orders out, I go to the UPS store right before they close so I save many hours of them sitting in the store in the box. But if packed correctly that is not needed. Take care...

Be sure to add packing around the pillow cases so the beardies aren't able to move around too much, as well. Shredded paper works great.

My only concern, only using 24 hour heat packs, is that the SCHEDULED amount of time they will be in transit is less than 24 hours, but what if there is a delay? Especially depending on what part of the country you are shipping them to, there is some pretty volatile weather going on in different places now, with every possibility of flights being cancelled, etc. If they end up sitting in an unheated cargo area for an extra day, are they going to freeze? Better off using the proper 40 hour heat packs.....always better safe than sorry, especially when dealing with live critters.

There are even 60 hour heat packs available for about $1.50 each. With the way the weather is now, I'd go with those.
