    Silly question about shipping...

    My husband found a beautiful yellow belly that he really wants, so I bought the snake and am having him shipped to our home.

    Is the outside of the package going to say "Live Reptile" anywhere?

    I was hoping to surprise him with it by having the snake in the spare room for quarantine from my snakes and having him walk in and find it. I just don't want him opening the recycling bin and seeing a box that clearly says "live reptile" or something similar on it.
    If it will, I'll just hide the box in the closet or something until he comes home to see the tank all set up with the snake inside.

    Thanks!

    I'll also have to find a way to sneak it around my father because he's not a huge fan of snakes. xD.
    But he doesn't care, so long as he doesn't have to see them. :p.

    Thanks!

    There are a few things that should be on the label "live harmless reptile" is pretty standard, but proper label of the species should also be on the box.

    This is are I ship mine

    Yes mine said "Live Harmless Reptile" and there was also a sticker on the box with different reptiles listed, and there was a check by the "ball python"
