Some body help need info on shipping

[oorob00]

Ok i called FedEx, UPS, and DHL. All told me they dont ship live animals or either dont ship snakes. Who else could i ship my reptile through? Any info would be great. Thanks

I just called delta and they said that i have to be a verified shipper and i thought that USPS does not accept snakes.

ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY 100% ILLEGAL to send snakes via USPS. If you get caught you can be subjected to MAJOR fines, not to mention it sheds an extremely negative light on the herpetocultural community as a whole. Please be responsible, think big picture & DO NOT push your luck using the USPS!!!!!!!!

I would suggest getting in touch with a breeder or herp society in your area - perhaps you'll find someone willing to ship for you as long as you cover all of the costs involved.

I've heard good things about DeltaDash, but that's all been with mammals. I do know they ship exotics (i.e. sugar gliders).
But yeah, listen to KLG, or it might also be worth it to find out how difficult it is to become a verified shipper.

sooorry! i ship gecko's all the time w/ no problem....thru usps

Yeah i am not trying to fined for shipping a snake. Also delta dash said that i couldnt be a verified shipper because i dont own a buisness nor am i a breeder. This is a major pain.

So what do you guys use to ship the snakes?

Airborne Express?

if it is illegal ....i wouldn't suggest it. but since you were calling and asking...thought it wouldn't hurt. wouldn't want you to get fined.
