Shipping chameleons?

[Syn]

Well, I will be shipping the chameleon with MBD tomorrow to a forum member,
I would like to know the safest way to do this, what I need, and how I need to do it.

Thanks in advance.

The easiest way would be to ask somone here on the forum if they have an insulated shipping box they could send you-I would but I am out.

That's what I'm going to do, probably. How do I do this, how long would it take for me to get the stuff?

Any idea where I could buy these? I just want her to be as comfortable as possible.

Ok i am in no way attacking your character or saying you are irresponsible, but you are telling me that you have 1 chameleon that has MBD and another that recently died of dehydration....... are you sure you can handle having chameleons as pets?

You shouldn't assume things like that. It is a cham that was left at petsmart. You should apologize.

Wow lol. Thanks for that, no I'm saving a chameleon that's for adoption at petsmart.. you really should read a little more carefully, I had a thread a while ago about the little girl with MBD.

Ok Syn let's do the down and dirty fast way so you can get it done.

1 buy a small styrofoam cooler,
2 buy a box, home depot, ect the cooler will fit into
3 take a pencil a put maybe 8 holes in the cooler
4 put cooler into box, fill excess space with crushed newspaper
5 get a bowl that the cham will fit in comfartably in.
6 hot glue a stick about 1 inch from the bottom of the bowl
7 put bowl in cooler without lid
8 add more newspaper around bowl to hold it still
9 put several small holes in the top of the bowl
10 put chameleon in bowl
11 put lid on bowl
12 close and seal box
13 mark box FRAGILE & PERSHABLE and this side up with arrows showing up.
14. go to post office and overnight it to whoever, tell post office it is a live animal and GET a Tracking number.

Good luck hope this helps.

I love this idea except for the fact it's 20$ less on Shipyourreptiles. Could I use this and still use syr?

Sure you can.

This one would work fine.

I forgot to mention it's not a baby. It looks to be about a year old, perhaps older. Bigger than my veiled, so about the size of an adult hand balled up with a head and a tail.

 

[Lancecham]

The kit come with a 12x16 cloth bag. That will fork fine for shipping an adult cham. In fact, that is what I ship my chams in.

 

[Syn]

Thank you Lance, I'll probably use that.

If you read how i typed the message, "Ok i am in no way attacking your character or saying you are irresponsible, but you are telling me that you have 1 chameleon that has MBD and another that recently died of dehydration....... are you sure you can handle having chameleons as pets?"

I was asking are you telling me that you have a cham that has mbd AND a cham that recently died? It was a question and further emphasized that i am not attacking you in the beginning! jeez talk about over reacting. It was a simple question because i was curious. Again, i did not mean to attack you, and i am sorry you took it that way. Best of luck try to help the female.

Thank you Lance, I'll probably use that.
