This jus my advice, if UPS finds out you have shipped a live snake they will have custom fine you and take your snake. Almost happened to me about 2 yrs ago. Through a random inspeaction they discovered my live animal was a snake and flipped. Had a agriculture/customs agent call me...Luckly i was a "naive first timer" so i slipped the loop on that one...
Someone with a SHip Your Reptiles LAbel go to a UPS and say i have a ball python here, please be careful handling. They WILL DENY it....Try it. Just shedding light here...

UPS is aware of the contracted agreement between UPS and SYR. I had a situation where a couple animals I was supposed to receive were shipped UPS ground. I called and talked to several UPS people and explained the situation I told them there were snakes in the package, and they never did anything, or said that they wouldn't ship it. The only call of concern I got from UPS was when they got a call (I'm assuming it was the scumbag shipper) that said there were live venomous snakes in the package. I explained they were ball pythons and everything was better. Even if they would've sent someone after me for the package containing snakes I'd of been fine since the person who sent the snakes actually sent an empty box instead, but that's another story.
