Flying back with reptiles?
How can I bring back reptiles with me on the flight? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're not, your snakes will have to be shipped to you.

You can't. Make arrangements with the seller to ship to you once you get home. Or get Delta Dash certified and ship it yourself to meet you when you get home.

I bring some funny stuff back on planes but I have never brought snakes. Thing is, if you did it would go in the cargo area, it's probably about -20degrees in that thing. If you really had to do it, and it wasn't that long of a flight, you could get some type of warmer that YOU feel is sufficient for the entire duration + of the trip. It may be picked up on the screen that something warm or living may be in the suitcase.
Just strap it to your inner thigh man.

It's not -20 degrees in the cargo area. It's temp controlled and pressurized just like the rest of the plane. They carry pets down there all the time. They couldn't do that if they weren't controlled. But I would NOT recommend trying to sneak a snake into your suitcase!!! They would be at an extremely high risk of death or serious injury. And trying to sneak one onto a plane at all is just asking to lose the animal.
Vendors at the big shows are well aware that customers may be flying in, and are usually prepared to be ready to ship your purchase to you.

The newer planes, some older planes may not have pressurized, temperature controlled cargo holds.:salute:

Don't put a snake in your suitcase, lol.

And don't try to sneak it on the plane either, strapped to any part of your body. We're already fighting for our rights to keep these animals, we don't need someone trying to break the rules just for some instant gratification of taking the snake home with them that day. If someone can't wait a few days for the breeder to ship it to them, perhaps they should pass on the purchase.
