Looking for thoughts and/or opinions on DHL?

As I understand it their policy is Snakes are prohibited. I've also heard the "don't ask / don't tell" philosophy and many of the arguments about legality of shipping.

Bottom line is I have shipped with them many times and have even identified the contents on the shipping tag. Lately with increased security, I even have had to open the box for inspection prior to shipping. The DHL clerk now knows they are snakes and still not one comment about snakes being "prohibited". He even called over his co-worker to show him how big this one was (a 2006 baby BCI....sooo tiny) So it appears to me that snakes are allowed to ship via DHL. At least my local DHL office will accept them!
