Hw to ship a snake.

ffm11 Apr 22, 2004 08:00 PM

Can somebody send me a good link on how to pack and ship live snakes. I've sent tortoises and lizards before, and I'm guessing it is similar, but I just want to make sure.

Well if youve got the basics through lizards and torts im sure.. Snake goes inside a snake bag or a WELL ventilated container... Pack around the container with some newspaper/wrapping popcorn/ect...Consider the use of a heat pad depending on the temp where you live and the temp where the snake is going... Overnight express..drop the package off as late as possible so that you get the least amount of travel/wait time and thats it... hopefully everything will go wonderfully... Good luck..im sure you got it already though

Sincerely,
Rose Hipskind
