There are also videos on YouTube about how to package them properly. There should be services that specialize on that but I don't recommend the ordinary ones. A year ago they sent me two leopard geckos by the biggest mailing company in my country in the winter. Both of them were dead. They had probably frozen to death in the cold night. I've heard and read many stories like this - even if you tell them about the animals and how to keep them (and we're talking about a distance of about 200km), they do something wrong resulting in the animal's death. Why don't you try packing the in small boxes with wet tissues, put them in a backpack and take them with you in the passenger part? Ask if you can bring tarantulas with you like Josh said so they don't confiscate them.</p></blockquote><p></p>
