Shipping ball pythons?

Best way to ship ball pythons?
Cheapest place to go through?
I'm trying to re-home some ball pythons. And have hatchlings coming soon.
I live in Las Vegas and the ball python mark is crap.
How much should shipping and buying a kit cost?
How much do you charge the buyer?
Sorry. I just want to know the best way to ship ball pythons. Both hatchlings and adults.

There are also plenty of Youtube videos you can watch.
Good luck with your new endeavor! :gj:

Please, do not try and ship any live animal without the proper certifications and materials required. The animals we care for and intend to ship deserve respect. Hopefully this information will help :-)

Here is the application form required by FedEx

This will also help set up your shipping box depending on the specific animal you are shipping

Below are some websites that I use to purchase my shipping supplies

I bought the shipping labels and supplies through shipyourreptiles, and you don't need to fill out a fedex application or forms or anything. It's very easy!

Just be sure to follow their packaging instruction video, and only ship in their states safe temperatures.

Have you had any issues? Like dead on arrival. My biggest fear is someone claiming that the snake arrived dead. Or didn't arrive at all, and it the snake actually arriving perfectly fine and me never knowing.

No because I ask for video proof of the deceased animals and it to be returned

Ask for video proof that the critter is dead. You can also stipulate that the buyer notify you within an hour or so of the package being received if there is a problem.

Also I DVR all of my unboxings so there's no question of the critter's condition on arrival.

Hi All,

I just wanted to clarify a few things about using ShipYourReptiles.

First -- you DO NOT need to be certified through FedEx in order to use our services to ship your animals. Basically, SYR has taken care of that step for you so you don't have to. Our certification applies to any packages you send out.

You DO need to meet our minimum shipping standards for packaging and temperature guidelines, and those are all laid out on our website. You can purchase the proper packaging through us, or through any number of qualified sources.

We offer exclusive On-Time and Live-Arrival Insurance. If you purchase the minimum insurance, you can be reimbursed for the shipping costs of any package that is delivered late (even if it's just one minute late) according to FedEx time stamps. You can insure up to $10,000 worth of value on the animals in the package (or more under special circumstances) and if the package is delayed and the animals arrive deceased, you will be reimbursed for the value of insurance you purchased.

Deaths during shipment are EXTREMELY rare. Even when the packages are delayed (also rare, but it does happen) so long as the animals are properly packaged, they will be fine.

If you have any questions or concerns about exactly how to make sure the animals are packed properly, our Customer Service Desk is always happy to help.

Use the coupon code BPnet40 to get 40% off the FedEx retail rate! After that, I can work with you customized, personalized rates to meet your business needs!

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

I have been at the hobby for 7 years now and have about 60 ball pythons and am ready to sell about half of them. I have hatched and raised several clutches.
I am ready to go on morph market and make listings, I just ordered a new camera today. Can someone tell me do you have to go to an airport fed ex ship center or can you go anywhere for overnight service? I live out in the country and the nearest major airport is 100 miles away. Thank you for all the vital info on this page.

You'll need to either schedule a pick up at your home location (can be dangerous with uncontrolled truck temps) or the easiest for me and the animals is dropping off at FedEx.

You can't go to just any FedEx drop point like kinko's or walgreens, it has to be one approved for dangerous goods like the ship center.

Ship your reptiles is super helpful between the faqs they have listed or just general questions.
There's one or two other groups that will work with you to ship reptiles but I honestly can't remember the names for the life of me atm.
