I just shipped a 3300 gram ball python (7.25 pounds or so) and it cost me ~$75 in a 15x11x7 box through SYR using a similar discount to the one Robyn shared above (~10 pounds total including packing materials, etc). Zero issues and perfectly comfortable.
Unless I'm missing something, a blood of similar weight shouldn't need a box that's double that size. That's why it's so expensive - FedEx charges based on the assumed weight (DIM weight) from the dimensions of the box or the actual weight of the box - whichever is greater.
