Yup, a few of us have thought about just this sort of problem. The way it works with horses, is there's a flat rate, per mile, for each horse, and they usually go from one coast to the other, BUT, they're usually loaded in a large van whereby many horses can ride at once and defray the hauler's costs. There are "pick-up" and "drop off" points along the way as not all the horses would be going the same distance; and of course you're at the mercy of the hauler to get your animal to its destination. It's not like you call one day and they're there the next. Might take a month to fill the trailer. One person (or two), with a well-equipped van, could do the same thing, with reptiles. Of course there's insurance and other risks to take in to consideration, but these obviously would all be spelled out before the animal left the premises. So who's gonna start??!!!
