[gecko]Current UPS live animal policy update

[Julie Bergman]

As many of you know I have been using UPS to ship 99% of my geckos since 
2001.  Back then I got a written authorization to ship lizards from UPS, 
and I had to carry the letter with me if I used any UPS while 
traveling.  In my new spring UPS publication RoundUPS there is a column 
on a policy change - they no longer require written approval to ship 
live animals from their list of approved animals.  That means any UPS 
shipper can now use UPS to ship your geckos! Their requirements are 
posted here:

They are also willing to ship some insect species, including all worms! 
Sorry, roaches will not be getting ride in the brown truck! ;)

They restrict UPS for live animals to Next Day Air only, and ship only 
from Mon-Thurs.  Personally I only ship Mon-Wed. to stay well clear of 
any accidentall weekend delays!
