I need to ship my ball python cross country, help please.

I got my BP when i lived in florida, i move back out to california a few months ago and the only way i knew how to get my snake to come with me is to check him as an animal at the air port. This cost me a fortune, much more the snake and all his accesories costed me, well i am moving back to florida and i really don't want to do this again.

I see people who breed and sell snakes ship them all the time for under $40. What is the best cheapest way to ship thats safe for my snake? It will be going from CA to FL. Please help me asap, i need to leave in just 5 days!

or you can find someone on here that lives by you to ship it to you once you get there as well im sure you could find someone

Watch to video on how to properly and safely pack your animal

YouTube - How to Ship Your Reptiles : part 2 of 2

, use http://www.shipyourreptiles.com/ to book your shipment and drop your animal off at the UPS hub.

So basicly all i need to do is ship it UPS? I will pack my reptile as i see in the video, what does shipyoureptiles.com even do, just sell the supplys? Because i got a quote on their website and it says they ship UPS. Can i not just go directly to the ups store or something?

or will shipyourreptiles.com come to my house and do everything for me(including packaging)? all i need to do is pay them?

you need to have the proper certifications to ship with ups or fedex http://www.shipyourreptiles.com/ is already setup for shipping and going threw them to set up your shipping lets you use their certification to ship

I see, i understand now. TY.

hi...i see the date from this post is a few weeks old but i hope someone can help me. I'm moving to Puerto Rico and i tried using shipyourreptile.com but it seems they dont ship to Puerto Rico. I already went to FEDEX,UPS,called the Airport the vet, Freight company's and no one can help me out all they have answered me is that i need to be a certified breeder and have the correct license or something... i really need to take it its my Pet you know dont wanna leave it behind plus no one will take care of it where i live at the moment in PA. Any suggestions???:confused:

Hi,

You NEED cites certification to legally ship your animal internationally.

It can take months to arrange apparently - you need import paperwork from the destination and export paperwork from the country of origin.

I hate to say it but you should have started arranging this a long time ago. :(
