I wanted to ship a snake or two but i cant find a shipping service that will actually accept animals. Does anyone know what company does or how do you ship your animals?

Thanks
Kyle

Delta dash is the only shipper that truely accepts snakes. It is very expensive and you have to be certified prior to shipping.

As for fedex and ups, it depends on who you talk to some say the do some say they do not (speaking about talking to their employees)

I ship fedex, but I have my own account, print my own lables and just drop the box off as the fed ex place. This eliminates alot of hassle. No one ever asks any questions this way.

I haven't used ups, but I have recieved numerious snakes through them.

I guess my advice would be ship them, but be unodvious (sp) about what you are shipping, but do not mislable the package or you could be fined.

What do you mean what type of label? If you set up a fedex account online (it is free) you can print out you own shipping lables. The fedex label does not require you to put what is in the box on the label. They only require that you check the box certifying (sP) the box contains no dangerious materials. As for the box I write fragile on the box.
