Thanks for the responses.
I haven't had very much experience at all in having animals shipped. Only one ball python so far and it was sent from Georgia, which is relatively close.
At the time I posted this, I was concerned since it almost seems like all the dragon breeders I came across are on the west coast. But I have since found a breeder that is highly reputable on this site (Thanks Again Raul!!) and read up more on shipping on other dragon forums and now I feel much more comfortable in having one shipped to me from across the country.
Beardedragon, I love the names, Nugget and Mango, very cute!!!
