I think that cloth bags are among the worst mediums to pack lizards in. I made a purchase last year through a breeder that used a cloth bag to pack the dragon. When I pulled the little girl out she looked terrible. I and think it was from getting nails caught in thread, moving around in the box too much and not feeling secure at all. She took the longest to acclimate compared to my other dragons that were shipped.

Good breeders go to great lengths to ensure a live, happy arrival. They package the lizards in plastic containers or deli cups. They use packing paper or newspaper to surround the containers to secure them and prevent moving in transit.

My dragons from Bloodbank, Draggintails, and Garrick DeMeyer all were packaged this way. Pulled out the little guys and they were eating and showing gusto in 5 minutes or less.
