Does anyone have experience moving their python from Canada to the UK?

[lilith14]

I've been doing research online and have some bits and pieces. E.g. I've found an import application form on gov.uk but it looks like it might not apply to personal pets. & as I understand some airlines allow passengers to bring their pets into the cabin, but London prohibits bringing pets in at all a couple airports. I'm ... still trying to wrap my mind around it.

I was wondering if anyone had personal experience doing this and how was that experience? / anything I should look out for?

I also wanted to ask - should I even do this? Is it safe? Or should I rehome her? (as my heart breaks)

Thank you! x

Snakes need to be shipped and all the paperwork such as vet health certificate and C.I.T.E.S must be in order.

Between the paperwork and shipping you are looking at about $1000

The first step is to find a breeder that does export and can ship your animal.

Trust me cites appendix 2 applies.

ETA: I would ask a breeder with export expeience ( like marcus jayne ) or a uk importer ( like crystal palace reptiles ) to advise you on the costs and problems and see if either one could give avice or help.
