It's a shame we don't live in a perfect world, because this is pretty much the only way such a system could exist. Even though the hot herp community is large, I don't think it is large enough to sustain something of this sort. There are many faults with this idea.
If my snake dies along the way, who is to blame????
What if people don't mark the box contents appropriately??? I know I sure wouldn't take someone's word for what is in the box only to be busted with illegal animals.
What if animals get confiscated for whatever reason??? Who is responsible?
What if I am part of the leg to get the shipment to its destination??? There is a chance that I could get blamed for something that was done before/after I recieved the box, and vice versa... who holds the responsibility?
Who is going to be the person in charge of making sure that every person in the shipping system is legal and reputable????
Do I need to even go on??? The problems with a system such as this are just too numerous.
Just be happy that there is a legal way to ship venomous snakes. I personally don't think shipping Delta is all that bad anyway. It is a hobby, it is something that I voluntarily sink money into. If I want animals, I'll pay for them, and accept the shipping etc, or I'll just buy them at shows.
