Best way to ship a reptile

[mbgirl17]

Hello everyone, Im still new here but had a general question. What is the best shipping method used? I know alot of big breeders get certified by fedex, but what if your someone that ships once in a blue moon? For instance the last time I shipped a reptile was 2 years ago, and I used DHL, it went fine, but now im hearing that you cant use DHL. I heard that UPS was ok to use. Anyways, any help would be great, as im planning on doing a trade, and have to yet again ship some reptiles, and would like to do it the best way.
Thanks for all your help!!

I would look into Repster.

I haven't used it so I can't say anything about it. It was through fedex but I believe they switched to UPS.

Best way to ship once in a blue moon, if distance allows, is to drive yourself. Just my personal opinion.

$50 in gas can get you quite a ways, even with gas prices on the rise again.

Just get certified through Fedex it will take you about 2 weeks.

Righ now UPS policy does not allow to ship snakes hopefully this might change.
