Shipping usually takes 15-18 hours, and they're tucked away in a nice tight dark box. I know when I do shows the animals usually get packed up sometime Thursday, if you're traveling far that could mean Wednesday or earlier. Then they're put on display in a bright room with no where to hide. People constantly walking by, taking pics, etc. I see stress mentioned a lot when it comes to shipping animals, but the ones at shows are put through a lot more.
