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 and FedEx are not Government agencies - it's against their policy, not against the law. And FedEx does allow you to become certified to ship through them. Contact them for your local account rep to find out the process. UPS allows some companies to ship through them, like Ship Your Reptiles.

USPS is government run and government governed. Violating their rules, is violating the law.
