How old is old enough to SHIP?

[Johnny84]

Good morning everyone...

So we have 14 baby panther chams and 10 more eggs at this time to go. My question to all you "PROS" out there, when is a safe age to ship these lil guys to there new homes?

Please any suggestions and instructions on the best way to package them.

Thanks!

Johnny

It depends how big they are. And what time of year it is. Cold weather hot weather heat pack or cold pack. Most ship with styrofoam sleeves in a deli cup or cloth bag surounded by shreded newspaper.

I will be sending more than 1 at a time, I think like 15 at one time...so how many can be in a deli cup to travel safe or can they all be in a big tupperware with the styrofoam lined packing box stuffed with newspaper?

One per cup so they dont hurt or scratch one another also shipping could be rough they could get bruised or bang into each other.
