Shipping

So i would just like to ask how many days is it safe for a 3month old veiled chameleon to be shipped? by safe i mean, the chameleon will still be healthy.

Welcome to the forums. Chameleons should be shipped overnight only. I take mine to FedEx at 7pm and then they are picked up around 9am the next morning at their new location. They are shipped in an insulated box and if the weather is warm a cool pack should be used.

Agreed, they should always be shipped overnight. I doubt the shipping companies would even allow you to ship live animals at a lower service level. There are many regulations and certifications required to ship reptiles.

You should also try to avoid shipping on Fridays because if something does go wrong with the shipment the animal could be stuck in a warehouse all weekend.
