ok, i need to know what you guys use to ship. do you use UPS? also, how mutch is it to ship? please reply asas. thanks oh, btw, the snake is 3 foot.

thanks

Too many factors in quoting prices, I would call whatever company you use.
Anyway, some people us UPS, some Fed Ex, some Airborne. I personally would not ship any other way that Delta if I could help it. Gets there the same day, insured, and more reliable.

As far as packaging:
1. Styro lined box (cardboard box)
2. Snake in a bag/pillowcase
3. Newspaper or styro peanuts for cushioning around the bag
4. cold pack depending on where you are shipping from and where it is going

A snake that size would be good in a 12x12x12 box. WOuldn't go any smaller personally.

Good luck!

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. AS FAR AS SHIPPING PACKING. THATS THE WAY TO GO. I HAVE USED UPS OVERNITE WITH NO PROBLEMS. NEXT DAY UPS IS BY 10:30 THE NEXT AM. YOU CAN ONLY INSURE FOR 100.00 . IT WORKED FOR ME. YOU ARE SHIPPING GLASS??????RIGHT??????

Illegal and against company policy are completely different. It is NOT illegal to ship via UPS, it IS against their company policy though.

The worst they can do is call the Animal Control to confisicate your Snake.
