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

they are dumping old ones whenever they realize we still exist, lol! So I also have a FedEx account.
There are a couple of helpful threads on another forum about shipping and FedEx, but I am not allowed to post them here. I already emailed it to the original poster. Email me if anyone else needs the info.
