Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I am planning on sending some lizards on Monday through FedEx's Priority Overnight service. When I went to the Google Maps site to locate the Service Center in my city where I could drop them off, I saw two reviews (from a year ago) that said that FedEx lagged on sending their packages. I have received reptiles in the mail through FedEx with no probs, but of course suddenly I have a moment of panic. Any words of wisdom?

My skinks:
1.1.1 Corucia zebrata (Berman and Joni, baby Charlemagne)
2.2.2 Eumeces schneideri (Jack and Mabel; Kaa and Cochisa their babies)
0.0.4 Egernia striolata

Hubby's snakes:
1.0 Bogertophis subocularis (Humphrey)
0.1 Lampropeltis alterna (Sandy)

okay, question is moot because I did a *bit* of research (i.e., scrolled down this very forum) and realized that I needed the shipping license to ship animals with FedEx. DUR!!!

So now I'm using UPS, which is actually who I received my animals through before, now that I remember!! AND, they even guarantee morning arrival (at a cost) which FedEx Priority Overnight did not since the destination was rural. So I feel better about my decision to use UPS... since that is what my lizards were sent to me through.

Also, glad I'm into lizards and not snakes... sorry for all you snake people--that's lame that UPS won't ship them-- maybe you could say they are just legless lizards?
