I also use Airborne and although they've always accepted lizard shipments with the
outside
of the box marked "Live Harmless Baby Lizards" (I always add the "baby", because who
could
hate a "baby" anything?), they will not insure them for live arrival. I've never had
any
problems and they told me they do have heated compartments for live shipments.
I sure hope they don't become too expensive because they're my second shipper choice;
Delta
Dash being first.
