reptiles should be shipped in deli containers (soft shavings or rolled up paper towel, soft cloth etc) inside with the lid taped closed (some holes in the dish of course). This makes sure the lid of the deli cup doesn't come open and lets the dragon get loose in the box.

The box itself should be lined with Styrofoam (pink insulation type Styrofoam works best (not the fiberglass type though). The rest of the box should be filled with some sort of packaging material (styrofoam 'popcorn', crumpled up newspapers etc). Position each deli dish so there is a good layer of packaging between it and the walls and top/bottom and the other deli dishes. Attach a cold pack (or hot pack, as appropriate) to keep the internal temps ideal and prevent over heating etc.
