I would greatly appreciate any advice on this matter. Thank you in advance.
On to the matter at hand-
I have a good friend in Michigan who is currently fostering a 5 1/2ft, 10lb., male common boa for me. He was rescued from an owner who really did not have much of a clue on the proper care of this species and, as a result, this boa was surrendered over with a burn from his chin all the way down to his vent. This has since healed and he is doing quite well.
Since the foster cannot keep this snake, I agreed to take him. I live in Waco, Texas, and she lives in the boonies of Michigan.
Our dilemma-
To get the boa safely and inexpensively(under $100) to Texas from Michigan.
So, I am wondering, what would be the best way to go about this? Sign up for Fedex and ship overnight? Ship through Delta Dash? Also, if there is anyone in the Michigan area(specifically: area code 49712), who would be willing to help ship this boa for us, that would be greatly appreciated. My friend, the foster mom, lives about 2 hours away from Alex Hue, but he told her that a boa of this size would need to be shipped through Delta Dash. Delta only ships to Dallas, and the way gas prices are now, I can't afford a 4 hour round trip in my gas guzzler, plus the cost of shipping the snake.
If I can get this snake shipped to my door, or at least to our local airport, it would be a life saver. This sweet snake needs his final home, and I just want to be able to get him here safely.
Thanks again.
