    Shipping bp
    Just had a couple questions regarding shipping all pythons

    Do I need to create a account with FedEx to ship ball pythons.

    When is it necessary to use a heat pack ?

    Book a shipment with SYR https://www.shipyourreptiles.com/

    The temps for heat pack use are there too- I just shipped my first Bp last week and was terribly nervous about it!

    You can use ShipYourReptiles.com for your reptile shipping needs. You don't have to be individually certified when shipping with SYR, you are shipping under our FedEx certification. By agreeing to our TOS, you are meeting the FedEx requirements for safe and responsible shipping as well.

    We have packaging available, and if you just have a single shipment, one of our shipping kits has everything you need to execute a single shipment, no matter the season.

    You can find temperature, weather, and heat pack use guidelines at our site, in the ShipYourReptiles Get Help section. Heat pack use is still common this time of year, but overheating a reptile with a heat pack during warmer temps is a def concern, so follow the temp guidelines for safety and success.

    Follow this link- https://www.shipyourreptiles.com/en/...ds#question-15

    We have a customer service staff available to answer questions, or walk you through the process. They are in office Monday through Friday, 7am to 6pm MST, at info@ShipYourReptiles.com and 303-730-2125.

    Shipping your first live reptile package may seem daunting, but its actually a pretty straight forward process, as long as you have the packaging, knowledge and support. That is what ShipYourReptiles provides!

    1/No however if you do decide to ship directly you will have to get certified (the whole process takes about 2 weeks). Shipping directly through your FedEx accout will be more expensive since you do not have the volume which is why most breeders use Shipyourreptiles.com or other similar companies to ship snakes, you will save money and will not have to get certified SYR also offer insurance.

    2/Maybe

    Origin: (at the time of shipping) most people will drop of their animal in the late evening to reduce the time the animal has to spend in the box, I make my drop off at 6 pm.

    Main hub: Usually your snake will arrive at the main hub around 11 pm and may remain there until 5 am. You will only know what the main hub when printing your label. The first letter or number will determine which hub your box is going to.

    A Fort Worth TX

    W Oakland CA

    N Indianapolis IN

    X Memphis TN

    Q Los Angeles CA

    Numbers Newark, NJ


    Destination: The temp at destination should be within proper range at the time of delivery which will be in most cases around 10.30 am.

    When dealing with low temps have your animal held for pickup at the hub same with extreme highs. Also always ship Monday through Wednesday, avoid shipping on Thursdays.

    I use ship your reptiles or reptile express that way you get a better price and do not have to be certified
    I have shipped with both. have had success with both. and cant say anything bad about either. I have used reptile express more often lately only because every time I get a quote they seem to be about $10.00 cheaper for me. now that doesn't mean it will be cheaper for anyone else And I get a quote form both every time I ship just to be sure. (they both have great customer service by the way) but anyhow both SYR and RE will work even if you ship a lot because they ship everyday and get big discounts they can pass on to you

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying anything bad. Quite the opposite. I have shipped several animals with you. And have no complaints. You have a top notch service.
