IF you just mark the package Perishable keep between such and such temp. That's how my snakes have been shipped to me. Don't tell them there are live animals in there but PACK THEM GOOD so they don't freeze or die of heat.

Ups will ship lizards with no problem. If you want to be a little more honest you can lable the box "live harmless reptiles" and just don't mention the type of reptile.

I would just lable it "Perishable" and let it go at that. They don't ask whats in it, don't ask don't tell.
