I only wish there were some other way right now. Probably would have already sold one if I could ship. Ah well...

At this time you can use http://www.reptilesexpress.com/ to ship your snakes, all you need is to get approved by them and you can start shipping right away following their guidelines.

I actually talked to someone at Reptiles Express today and their exception letter is still good so it doesn't apply to them. She said a UPS rep observed them at Daytona too. I'm still going to get Fedex certified as another alternative. I don't want a bunch of babies on the ground with no way to ship them. But something people really, really need to keep in mind: DO NOT SHIP VENOMOUS ANIMALS PERIOD!!! It was a False Water Cobra shipment that caused this. She said that UPS does not even allow Hognose Snakes. If it is venomous, even mildly, DO NOT SHIP IT!!! If this type of crap continues, we won't have to worry about the python ban because we won't have a way to sell animals outside of expos anyway.

I just re-read this and realized it might be taken the wrong way. Don't ship venomous through UPS or Fedex. Delta is the only acceptable method so there is one way to ship them.
