Need help shipping snakes!

[donley]

I'm in a bit of a dilemma and was hoping someone could help me out. I just found out I am moving across the country on the 21st and I need to find a way to get my 2 ball pythons there. I was hoping to use Repster, however they are down for now and I don't exactly have time to get certified myself.

Is there anyone out there in the CT area who is certified to ship snakes and would be willing to ship mine for me before I leave? I already have someone lined up in AZ to accept the shipment and could drive the snakes to you. If anyone can help or has any ideas please let me know! Thanks a lot!

Why not take them with you? It is pretty simple to do.

I would take them with me, but I'm flying so I don't think that will work. Thanks for the thought tho

flying with pets has gotten harder and harder since the one and only time I did that(on an Alaska to Louisiana flight no less, that'd probably be impossible today except for a dog or cat)

[FloridaHogs]

Yeah, that would make it a bit more difficult.

Your best bet is to try and get certified asap and ship them that way to yourself. Other then that I'd be trying to find a known breeder in hopes they were certificated to ship live reptiles and see if you could use their account to ship them to yourself.

Thats kinda what I was hoping to get here. A breeder that can help, because I personally don't know of any in the area. Is it possible to get certified within 2 weeks or a little less?

Another thing, plan ahead. You do not want to ship your snakes out and find your flight cancelled, and the next day your snakes will be at your front door with no one to get them. Have someone there to make sure they get to where they need to be. A better plan is to get them shipped there after you arive.

If you are flying then you should hide them in .5 oz. lotion bottles!
