    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.

    Shipping through FedEx via ship your Reptiles is how I do all of my shipping

    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    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
    www.reptilesexpress.com

    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.
