I'd feel horrible if she died during the shipment or got injured, I guess you gotta do your best though with a few hundred stickers of LIVE ANIMAL, CAREFUL, THIS SIDE UP, etc, proper food and water, quick one day shipment.
That's how it's usually done. Tends to work out 99.9% of the time

I don't have any exotic reptile vets near me and I spent all my money already.

lemme give you an idea. anytime you go to the vet bring at LEAST 100$. its usually 40-60 just for them to look at your lizzard. *it was 42 for me* and than it was 15 for her to get meds that i myself recomended*they were happy to take a pic with her tho. haha* so ima guess it's gunna be a good 110max. 60 max for the checkup and leave 50 for the rest. id call and ask first though becuz some people charge alot more or less. its really hard to guess.
Definitely find out prior though, I was told they would put one of my birds on oxygen to "stabilize her" before we set off for an avian specialist during an emergency. They seemed to care about the bird, but what they failed to say was the oxygen was $2.50 a minute with a $35 minimum just for being brought in. Add that to the $40 antibiotic she didn't even need and that was one pricey visit.

What are signs of parasites and if they have no effect are they necessary to get removed?
Out in the wild so long as their needs are met the parasites are easily ignored. The problem comes with how easily chams can stress in captivity from things like improper maintenance, temperatures, lighting, etc. It's then that the parasites are VERY harmful...Or so I've read
