    Re: Postal Service Snake Shipping Poll

What I meant by that is that I was going to discuss this with my Post Master and see if it is really illegal, because I don't believe there is any legislation on the matter. If there was, UPS and Fed Ex wouldn't be able to ship, despite the fact that both of their rules state clearly, no snakes.

    With that said, the poll isn't about how I'm shipping my snakes. It's about what would happen if the Postal Service decided to openly allow the shipping of snakes through their services.
    UPS does not take any new reptile shipping accounts.They do ship for those that were grandfathered in when they changed the rule though ..They also ship for ship your reptiles.
