You can go to Scales in the supply section of the classifieds.
You will need a styrofoam line box, a paper lunch bag, and depending on temps a hot pack or cold pack. They sell all but lunch sack lol.
Make sure to cushion (I tear paper towels in long pieces) the lunch bag and only one chameleon per bag. I tape the bag closed.
Also use crumpled newspaper inside the styro box so the bags don't get tossed around.
You can tape heat pack to side or top if you want. Ice pack can be wrapped in newspaper.
Good luck and check the temps where it's going as heat pack or cold may not be needed.

Thank you so much, that helps alot. Have you shipped alot of chams? I'm a little nervous, I've never done this before. This is my first time breeding and selling, so I'm still learning. With the chams that you've shipped that way, have all of them made it? I assume you ship overnight mail, how much do you charge people for shipping? Again thank you!

No problem. I have shipped many times and I've only lost one animal (mis-routed). It's not hard just package right and you won't have a problem.
I do ship snakes and lizards overnight.I use 2-3 day shipping for insects and a few amphibians. Let me know via email if you need help..
