Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I checked on the shipping forum but I wasn't having much luck finding the info I needed. Could someone direct me to a link where i can find out how to ship ball phythons?

I have 4 snakes that I want to ship to a friend and I would like some packing recommendations. Also, what carrier do most people use, and is it legal?

Thanks!

Here is a link that will give you a good step by step:

Shipping Snakes

It is only illegal to ship them through the post office - but Fedex and a few of the airlines will ship them knowingly. If you want to try to ship them UPS or DHL - it's best that you don't tell them whats in the box. You do need to be certified - but Fedex will not guarantee any perishable items shipped through them - including snakes.

Hope this helps.
