Often times when I order monitors, they come overnight via USPS Express Mail (as well as FedEx and UPS). So, I went to the main USPS in town, and inquired about the shipping of reptiles, specifically lizards. The guy looked it up in his book, and after a few minutes said that they do not ship lizards, or any other reptile for that matter. I politely asked him, "So, the legitimate businesses I deal with are committing a felony each time they ship with you?" He said, "Apparently." I find this hard to believe--in fact, I don't believe it.

So, do any of you know the exact rules? I know UPS ships them, but at the UPS store I was once told they do NOT ship lizards. What's the low-down?

If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them. -JH
