It's important that you know that shipping snakes through the USPS is HIGHLY ILLEGAL!!

Even Fedex's official stance is that they would "just as soon not have that kind of business". This came from a follow up to a newspaper article some time ago where a small boa crawled out of a Fedex package in Florida (link below). Having said that everyone does it but don't walk in and say you'd like to pick up your snake shipment at the local Fedex office, they won't be impressed and may ask you not to return (or worse yet, call the police).

I just want to make sure that you have all the facts.

Ps- the way I found out that snakes were prohibited in the mail was I sent a guy a snake and when he replied FREAKING OUT I noticed that he had a .gov emil address. That could have gone very badly for me!

Discretion is the word of the day. ;O)
