Shipping is what it is. To reduce sticker shock just put the typical cost of shipping in your advertisement so people know what to expect. Other than that, people who really want an animal will pay the shipping cost without too much complaint. The rest are just tire kickers.

I co-sign this on all points.
Back when I used to offer animals that were of less expensive pricing, shipping costs could really make a difference in sales halting or advancing. Like spending $50 to $60 to ship a $20 to $100 gecko or turtle. It was more difficult for some people to wrap their heads around. With specialty stuff that costs more, the shipping charge has far less of a sting (if it is even really noticed) unless the buyer is reaching the limits of the budget.
