    This policy change isn't new. I got the same message sometime in June. So, it's been at least 4 months, so maybe it's not as temporary as they first thought.

    This is the first time Reptiles Express is doing this. Are you sure you aren't thinking of Ship Your Reptiles?

    When I wrote Reptiles Express, they told me they expected the suspension to last 2-4 weeks.

    I'm pretty sure they'd send out a mass email if there was any change, considering snake shipping makes up a pretty large portion of reptiles shipped on a day-to-day basis. That said, I haven't got an email from them, so I'm guessing they still have some things to work out with UPS... though it has been more than the 2-4 weeks they expected this to take.

    I just notices this post so I figured I would comment on the current standing with shipping snakes with UPS and Reptiles Express. UPS asked us to place a temporary hold on snake shipping until they could come up with a snake policy and handling procedures. UPS has a big fear of snakes and they thought everyone was shipping 20 foot man eaters. They sent a UPS representative to our booth at the Daytona show. We took then around, introduced them to some of our current members and educated them on what snake breeders/dealers are really shipping. I believe the show was a huge step forward making UPS realize that this is a big industry and they have expressed they want to workout a policy that will allow snakes without all of this waiver BS. The one thing we have learned dealing with UPS is they will get something done but they like to move at a very slow pace. They told us it would be 2-4 weeks. It has been almost 2 months. We are pushing for a solution and to resume shipping snakes before the end of the year. Thanks for everyones support. We will send a email out to all of our members after we get some positive news from the UPS ivory tower.

    Re: ReptilesExpress is NO LONGER shipping snakes.....

    What happens if someone does ship a snake using Retile Express now?

    What happens to the shipper?
    To the person getting the snake?

    I know it's only been a couple days since Brendan posted but your website used to have a notice on there saying that shipping snakes was temporarily put on hold. I do not see that warning anymore, so are we allowed to start shipping snakes again?
