Hello everyone, I was in the dreaded Hurricane Katrina, but anyway, now I've heard that my leos are both doing good. SOOOOO, I have to ship them from Louisiana to Oklahoma.... Okay, I'm not a breeder or anything, so can someone please respond with how is the safest way to ship them?

Nice one triple moons, very good clean and useful information for those that live in the US. Should be posted as a sticky m8. Good work and keep it up.
