Shipping snakes via USPS

There is a person on Reptibid offering every manner of reptile who is stating that he ships via USPS Priority Mail at a rate of $25.00.

I questioned him via private email specifically regarding the shipping of snakes and he stated that it was allowable for snakes under 36" in length. When I mentioned the USPS Domestic Mail Manual and cited the section which specifically prohibits the shipment of any snake - his communication ceased.

I now see that he has been questioned publicly by someone else, to which he responded:
Quote:
i am aware of the shipping regulations over USPS snake shipping i own a Reptile Ranch and sell to many zoos and pet shops with this i have a signed contract saying as long as its under 68" i may ship it.
Has anyone ever heard of such a contract?

Just curious.
