Is it legal or not to ship harmless live reptiles with Fed Ex?
I shipped some Emoryi ratsnakes to San Diego and just tracked the shipment. It arrived in San Diego and there is a Regulatory Agency Clearance Delay. If it is illegal, do they take the animals or what?
Thanks,

Fed Ex will not ship live harmless reptiles, but they will ship live animals. I ship fed ex only when I ship my snakes, because they are the most reliable. I just label the box "live fish". I'm not sure if they keep the animals or not if it gets caught.

Read my post above, I had a shipping disaster with them... Read about the Lacey Act!! I'll post the exact law tomorrow. If you mislabel a package, You can be fined $100,000. No kidding,
