    SHIPPING

    You can ship lizards and other reptiles with US Postal, but no snakes. Their overnight service is often spotty, is not guaranteed overnight to many addresses, and tracking and recourse stinks. The rate can be better at times, but I wouldn't risk live reptiles at the hands of US Postal. Even...

    SHIPPING

    You can ship lizards with either UPS or FedEx. With FedEx, you need to be individually certified, unless you are using ShipYourReptiles, then you are shipping under our certification. You need to meet our Shipping Standards, including temperature parameters and packaging requirements (which meet...

    Our "bit pricey" rate starts at 20% LESS than the FedEx rate, and can improve from that as you gain shipping volume : ) Laura- if you send me the info on the FedEx facility that has given you grief, I can have the FedEx Live Animal Desk contact them directly and get them up to speed, in a...

    The cage actually works exactly OPPOSITE as it was designed : ) And heaven forbid the lizard manages to get inside the cage, which I have seen happen, that is a nightmare. Best of luck with your monitor!

    UV lighting?

    Rodent based diet, occasional insects. I don't know that they ever saw the sun. 50watt Halogen Flood bulbs. We typically supplement insects, but again, they were a limited offering for our Tegus, it was mostly rodents.

    UV lighting?

    We have kept (and raised) the Albino Blues without it, yes.

    UV lighting?

    Found this post and mention through The Reptile Report : ) We have never used full spectrum lighting in breeding lizards. Any number of different species. When lizards are underkept, UV can work as a bandaid to try and address a non-thriving situation. But I believe calcium placement...
