Not 100% true. DHL WILL knowingly ship tortoises and frogs. I've done it with them before. But your safest (and more expensive) method is always going to be Delta Dash. It's overnight airport-to-airport and it's what all the zoos use. As far as I know from experience, USPS does small lizards on the record. FedEx and UPS will do nothing on the record. I've heard many services have different laws for shipments that don't leave the state.
Has anyone heard anything different, or better yet, learned from experience?
