Hmmm... I'm confused... The person I am buying from ships fed-ex... and I assume he would tell them they are live animals... maybe it's a reginal thing?

Ship UPS, they can only tell you not to ship again and maybe ban you from shipping. They are a private company, but if you get caught by the Postal Service then you in some SH**!! It is a federal offence to ship them USPS.

I believe petshops do the same or they have local breeders bring their animals in. The petshop Igo to gets snakes in all the damn time no fuss. I think they have a deal with UPS because the boxes will say something like "Ball Pythons" or "Kingsnakes" and the UPS guy delivers no problem. I was in there on ship day (like I usually am) and the UPS guy had a box labeled "Albino, Snow Cornsnakes" He asked the petshop owner to if he could take a look and purchased two snakes right out of the box!! So petshops may have deals with their carriers.
