    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I would like other people's opinions on what is the best way to ship snakes.  I have talked with UPS, Fed-Ex, etc., and they will tell you they will send snakes, and the next second they tell you that they won't ship any live animal!  Can someone give me some answers!  I know you cannot ship thru USPS, although my post office assures me there is nothing wrong with it.  I have always been on the receiving end  and have some snakes to sell but have no idea how I should ship them.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks.  Laura
 
The very best way is Delta, it does cost alot more, but it is the best. For small orders I use AirBorne, and just lable the box as harmless reptiles. They never ask and I don't tell them. They know what I'm shipping, but never want to actually see, because they do not openly ship live snakes. I hope this helps. Frank
 
I use airborne express.
They have worked the best for me..........They don't ask...I don't tell.

I get shipments from UPS all the time.....but the second I try to ship...they say "no live animals whatsoever".........so I do not use them.  They do not know their own rules
