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.

Well first you need a styrofoam insulated shipping box that you can get from an online reptile supply store (i think repitledepot.com has some). Then you are going to need some packing material like packaging peanuts or just plain old crumpled up newspaper. Then you need something to put the beardie in. Now when ever i get an adult beardie i receive them in a cloth bag, and i think you can search for that over the internet. If not find a tupperware container big enough and pad it up with paper towels and poke air holes. Also, depending on where you are shipping it, you will need a heating pack (you will probably not need one at this time of the year)
Well good luck

The best way to ship an adult is by packing it a snake bag with newspaper as padding. If you don't have a snake bag use a small pillow case. I would highly reccomend an insulated box. Airpalnes can hit extremely cold temps and while you shouldn't need a heat pack you want to protect it while on the plane. Make sure you only send it overnight for delivery by 10:30. If it ends up sitting in a truck temps can soar over 120 degrees. Soak the beardie in warm water for 30 minutes prior to packing it. This helps clean it out and hydrate it. Shred some paper towels or crumple some up to put in the bag with it. If it soils this will help soak it up. Pack crumpled newspaper on all sides because the box is going to get tossed around. For this time of year I always poke a couple holes on opposite sides of the box to allow for some sort of air transfer.
Good luck!
