International shipping first requires you to be licensed and then you have to apply for CITES permits that takeas bout 4 months to get, and then the customer has to have his paperwork on his side as well, and then you have to pay a freight forwarding company about 400 bucks to get the package to your customer and through all the correct channels of customs.

If its not a really expensive snake, its not worth the hassle. IMHO.

Also be very causious when dealing with international sales, there are a ton of international scams going on.

Good luck,
Mark
