I just started shipping snakes again over the past several months through fed ex next day and the prices range anywhere from $65 at the lowest to $90. Typically the price is around $80-85 dollars just shipping one baby hognose in a standard small reptile shipping box with insulation and the weight is 1 pound. My question is are these prices normal now or am I paying too much? I even have an account with fed ex too. I have one customer keep telling me he's had snakes from all over shipped to him at no more than $50 overnight via fed ex. Are some sellers just eating the cost of shipping past $50 to satisfy customers? Also,I'm shipping from Colorado to states usually just above me or east coast.

Thanks,
Kevin
