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.

Shipment to ALASKA!
Hello everyone,
I need to send a male to Alaska...
I send all my geckos, Next Day Air with UPS.
It's first time I'm sending a Leo to Alaska. Temperatures are around Hi 41, Lo 21. I successfully send once to NY with temperatures under 20F (two 40hrs heat packs); but its first time I'm sending a gecko that far away under this temperatures.
I need some suggestions should I, wait for warmer temperatures, or include one more heat pack, or use FEDEX instead UPS.
Thanks a lot everyone.
PD: Cody, this post will help you too. I will send you the answers to your e-mails.

Hi-
I'm from Alaska (never had anything but snakes shipped though) and have had nothing but good, on time, live deliveries with UPS and no heat packs (these were during summer, though with temps of around 60-90F.) Well, almost nothing but good. One of my UPS shipments came through a lady with no uniform in a mini van and I didn't have to sign for anything... Hmmm. It was on time and live though, despite the "distance!"
I live in the city though- I don't know how a shipment into the bush would work. I've heard horror stories of really botched shipments.

That was weird… I posted but my post didn’t show up.
Anyways I’m in the same boat as Christian. I’m sending two females to Alaska to the same person. Usually when the temps are like this I don’t ship. I wish the lows were in the 40’s and the highs were warmer. I’ve only shipped UPS but I ‘m sure they would be ok.
I don’t know Christian, we should probably wait a little longer. I just don’t want to risk any of the geckos. Anyone else have any Alaska shipping experience?

I agree Cody!
I agree Cody.
The Temperatures that I was expecting for Monday already changed. I'm going to wait until Lo. are on the 40'.
Thanks for your help Scarlett_Fawn; I'm going to follow your suggestions

I've never experienced an issue shipping to alaska, just package knowing delivery will not be made until late afternoon or early evening.

UPS Next Day Service
Thanks TSE,
I was calculating the shipping time, and I figured out:
The package was guarantee for next day, end of the next day. Since is Alaska, and I'm sending the package from Florida (opposite poles); the package will be traveling all day and all night (1st day) and will arrive Alaska during the daytime temperatures of the 2nd Day; Therefore, temperatures will be over 40'. Since I will be adding two heat packs to the package, temperatures will be working very accurate because the temperatures outside the box will be very low.
But if the package do not arrive the 2nd day, the male will die. It’s like playing in the Casino. I already made a choice, and Cody is also agreed. If Low's are under 40's I don't ship the gecko.
Thanks a lot TSE
