UPS i dont think ships animals any more. Everything i have tried is Fed Ex. Try looking at shipyourreptiles.com they have a FAQ area http://www.shipyourreptiles.com/en/get_help/get_help_shipping_tracking/ that has lots of info.

Last time i tried to ship a leo gecko the UPS store said they would not ship it. But that is one store, its always helpful to go in a talk to a person at the store to makesure they know their company policy. I have heard horrer stories of stores holding reptiles until they could varify they could ship. So still check with your local store or skip them and go stright for a hub.

Wow, that would be awful. I ship through UPS and it is the big hub. Never a problem and the clerk said they get a lot of lizards. If you go to a private owned retail outlet, it can get tricky.

I had one time experience. UPS didnt accept the package because I told them it's a lizard.
And I had to bring my laptop to the store, open their website and show them UPS policy.
Then they accepted it.

LoL....
