Ive been using UPS for the past 2 years repeatedly.Cost has risen,but service has been excellent.They will register you as a live shipper of geckos,which is great.I know there isnt the guarantee for loss we would all like,but that is part of the risk.Marcus.

Hey Julie,they are pretty hard to spot at night.The Orang Asli guide that was with us was the only person to spot them.I did spot a Cyrtodactylus Pubisulcus on a tree.I really felt a sense of validation from the trip.I realized my successes with Felinus were trial and error,but I was also very luck
