I've never shipped any critters, but have shipped a lot on ebay. This issue comes up alot of times for various reasons. But the way I understand it, the seller/shipper is fully responsible. Even if they say in their ad they are not. This is why most people do delivery confirmation if not certified delivery. Then they add in insurance. Now I have no idea if you can insure snakes? But doing a claim is tough on any item, so an animal would be crazy IMO, the P.O. has many fraudulent claims of course, so they make you jump thru hoops. Doing a claim an expensive pied bald ball would be interesting. Wellthats my liittle spice of info.
