Did you get your certification to ship snakes through FedEx? Last I heard Ship Your Reptiles and Reptiles Express have had to stop shipping snakes through UPS (for the time being).

Both companies have good videos to show you how, but it is illegal to do so unless you are certified with a shipping carrier.

As far as I know Fedex and Delta Dash are the only carriers that legally ship snakes.. You need to be certified to ship through Fedex.. I have not used Delta in many years, so i am not sure if cert. is required with them..
