Hey. my friend needs to ship a snake from Texas to California. The local UPS says it wont ship live animals, and as far as i know USPS doesn't ship snakes. Is there any other options he has?

thanks

Airborne Express. or just don't tell UPS or Fedex. tell them you're shipping vintage ketchup packets...

I just tried doing just that and much to my surprise they opened the box right there in front of me! The person even went to the extent of moving the newspaper that I had packed around the snakes. When she picked up the pillow cases she looked at me and said "this is a snake. we don't do that. good-bye"

You can send snakes "PDQ" on US Air flights...it is more expensive, but they will guarantee safe shipment. The drawback? The snake must be picked up at the airport...

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Rom 8:1

will the airport pick them up or do you have to drop off? 2. 65 bucks? bad for the customer.but safer????maybe???guaranteed???yes. i think it depends what you are shipping. there are diffrent options.
