Say i wanted to ship 3 adult Ball Pythons from USA to Canada, does the $500 shiping charge(from the breeder) cover all 3 or is it per snake?

I'm assuming that is the price you were quoted from a seller? In which case you'd have to ask the seller what that entails, perhaps it includes cities and what have you that goes along with shipping internationally. Etc.

right, but my question is is it $500 per snake or for the group? I haven't talked to a breeder. Just reading there web sites.

I would think that each breeder would have their own policies. Drop a quick e-mail directly to the breeder in question.

LOL......
I say it don't matter....for that price you can get 5 adult females from someone near you maybe and pick them up yourself......I know in the US you can......and Canada has some ball breeders.......more than we know of I'm sure.....
......and you'd have to ask THEE seller as they told you about their particular terms......

It probably would be for the group. They may add a small charge per extra snake i would imagine. The largest cost is the CITES permits and health certificates which I think most breeders charge $200-$300 and it takes from 2 to 6 months so you will be waiting. Have you considered Canadian breeders? There are many and guys like Corey Woods charge the same prices as American breeders to stay competitive in the international markets. If your just looking at the classifieds then you should also try emailing the bigger breeders I am sure they have more for sale than listed.
