I recently moved from Philadelphia to Atlanta, in what turned out to be a three day trip. I put my veiled cham in a well ventelated tupperware container with a moist paper towel in the bottom. Suprisingly, I moved about 14 other herps in this manner and didn't lose a single one. I had intended it to be a one day trip, but we hit so many problems, it isn't even funny. Regardless, he wasn't too happy by the end of the trip, but he made out just fine. I'd say ship it overnight this way, just pack the tupperware in a cardboard box with some balled up paper towels inside to cushion the little guy and make a lot of holes in the box. He should do just fine.
