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 Crested Gecko's?
Hello, I have a few questions about shipping crested gecko's. I've shipped before in warm weather just not cold. The Crested gecko's will only be going 3 hours away by ups next day air by 10:30. These are the temperature for thursday/friday, here/there
49 hi 38 low / 53 hi 38 lo.................... 53 hi 38 lo / 57 hi 37 low
I plan on shipping thursday. It looks like the lowest temp would be 37. I plan on using a 7x7x7 insulated box with 3/4 foam, and 48 hr heat pack. I just need to know if it would be okay to ship with these temps? Thanks

You should be fine temp wise, but I, personally would NOT be shipping on Thursday. I don't like shipping on a Thursday anytime during the year, but right now, just after Christmas...you couldn't pay me to ship on a Thursday. ALL carriers are extremely busy until after the Jan 1st.
Good luck with whatever you decide

Keep in mind that even though the destination is only 3 hrs away, the package my still go o a hub and back and be in transit all night. I've had packages coming from 3hrs south of me go to the hub in Memhpis TN and back ( I'm in central Fl).

Amanda believed in that recommendation so strongly she posted it twice : )
Now I have quoted it for a third time. And it is right on.
During this time of year, delays are MUCH more common. If anything happens during your shipment, it will get held over for the weekend. Not good.
At SYR we don't recommend shipping again until the week of Jan 2nd. At the very least, don't ship later than Wednesday of this week. That way if there is a delay, it is just one day, and not the whole weekend.
Still, wait until the holidays are done, give yourself the best chance of success.
