I have been asked if I could send some of my, Cynops orientalis, terrestrial juveniles, to another county in the UK. I'm not really that keen on doing this. What would be the best way do it and what is the most reliable courier? Does anyone have any experience please.

Knowing how Royal Mail handle parcels I wouldn't trust them to deliver a cupcake, let alone live animals. And it's not allowed anyway.
If you can find an animal courier that is the best option, but it's usually pricey. You might have some luck finding out if your buyer is willing to collect, or offer delivery for fuel costs.
