Its a freakin shame.

But I feel safer anyway and I guess they need to know who is sending packages on airplanes? At least while there is still even one wack job terrorist left alive.

I can not speak for other airports, but here in Indianapolis, only Delta and Southwest will even allow reptiles on their flights. And you have to be a "known" shipper with both airlines.
I do not know if other carriers in other cities allow such shipments.
Becoming a "known" shipper with Delta Airlines is not that diffcult. Just a little time consuming.
If you would like some help, give me a call and I'll give you all the contact information you need to get started.

there isnt any. Your best bet woul dbe to find a local freight forward company. They are all known shippers and will be able to ship for you. They will charge a fee but its not too much.

Thats the only way unless you know someone who will let you use their known shipper status or ship ups/fedex.
