Need some advice...

[didgetspatch]

Ok so I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right section but I need some advice. I currently live in the UK and am looking at moving to Texas in the near future. The thing is I have three leopard geckos who I love and adore, they're my babies.
Would it be safe to export them over there or would the journey be detrimental to their health?
I love them so much and I really don't want to have to give them up but if it's gonna be a risk to them I know I'll have to do what's right for them.
Has anyone ever shipped geckos that far before? If so what was your experience? How did you go about doing it?
I appreciate any help you guys can give me. Like I said these are my babies and I gotta do what's right for them even if it means finding them a new home when I go.

Ask the airline you're going to fly about shipping policies. Also, contact some US breeders who supply big European reptile shows like the one in Hamm and see what they do and if there's any way they could take some geckos back to the US for you for a fee.

a few of the big gecko breeders in the US do international shipping. personally ive never ordered anything from the US just yet (im in UK too) so i dont know how its done, but contact them and see how they package the gecko for a long flight and stuff. And the fract that they do that does mean that it is safe. you shouldnt have to give up your gecko's.

You should be fine. International shipping is how all the breeders get their animals over to the other countries when they do shows. We have shipped some animals overseas as well.
