Quick Shipping Question!

[Stewart_Reptiles]

To the OP it really depends on the box yes normal box can be used however understand that boxes used in the shipping industry are specific, allowing them resist a certain pressure

The boxes I used are Single wall - Bursting test 200 lbs per sq inch

Any cheap flimsy box could have devastating results.

And of course also remember that even if you use a normal box it must well insulated and be properly labelled per the Lacey Act

I've been shipped snakes in regular boxes with no foam lining, just a few holes in the sides packed with balled up newspaper and the snake inside of a pillow case LOL. Just make sure they have air and plenty of packing so they don't bounce around in the box. Personally I like the foam lining, just keeps the snake a bit more secure if something pokes the box.

And people that ship like this should not be in business, this is not how live animals are shipped and it is not OK even if the animal makes it, there are standard and I can tell you that someone like that would have NEVER been Fedex certified
