I've never ordered a snake and had it mailed to me before (I've done this with our Welsh corgi though, she did fine) so I'm a little curious on how the process works and all those important details.
I've seen unboxing videos on Youtube and it seems the standard for shipping reptiles is something along the lines of a snake in a bag inside a tub padded in foam inside a box inside a different box. I'd think that'd be a bit stifling but it seems pretty safe?
Also, do the animals get shipped directly to your doorstep by UPS/FedEx or do you pick them up at an airport (Which is what I did to pick up my dog).
