Shipping Bearded Dragons.

Can anyone give me some info on shipping bearded dragons?
I have 2 Bearded dragons that I am considering offering up for trade. Before I decide I would like to know the proper way to ship them. I can't exactly fit them in a deli cup...they are almost full grown...lol Any help would be great.

I used snake bags for large dragons but that was a couple of years ago.

Thanks. How did you put the heat pack in so the dragon could not come in contact with it?

Well I wasn't as good at it back then but I would now as I have learned a lot more use a large box and put the dragons on one side and leave 3-4" of crumlded newspaper in the middle then the heat pack on the other side.

I have always been successful taping the heat pack to the top of the styrofoam insert on the inside with the red stripe facing down. They do make clear deli-cups that are 9 1/2 inches in diameter that can accommodate a fairly large almost adult Bearded Dragon.

Hey! I ship my dragons in snake bags. I put the dragon in the bag at one end of the box, (the box is 12X9X6 but you can get biger ones) and the heat pack at the other, with styrofoam all the way around the box, with foam peanuts in between.

Hope that helps.
I can try to get some pics the next time i go ship some dragons.
