Hi,

Yes it is illegal to ship snakes using the standard postal service. The same as it is illegal to use the USPS to ship snakes.

Sadly over here we have nothing like shipyourreptiles.

Only one company ( TNT ) ships reptiles and it needs an account in the same way Fedex does over there. The only snag being they have stopped creating any new accounts.

So any snake shipped over here needs to go via an individual with the correct permits to be a licenced courier.

Most do an excellent job in specially kitted out vehicles - but it is not an inexpensive process so some people will always try and risk cutting corners and shipping illegally.
