How do I go about shipping snakes...Who do I contact.....

tsusnakeguy Dec 26, 2005 03:20 PM

Ok so I am trying to figure out who to use when I start shipping snakes. I have heard that UPS does not do snakes at all and if you get caught you can get in trouble. I have heard that FedEx allows it if you get certified so how do you get certified and where. I called 1-800-Go-FedEx and they told me they discourage shippments of reptiles because their planes have no control on temps and air pressure so it is not safe. DHL said they do not do it either. I do not live close to an airport so I can not do Delta Dash. What am I suppose to do and who can I contact to get it done. I would appreciate any help that you could give.
Thanks

I got a verified reptile account by going to -- www.fedex.com/us/services/shipinfo/packaging/tips.html You can get an application form their. You'll have to send the application, along with a test box to the address that they'll give you. Make sure that your box is top quality.
