Cornsnake free to a good home!

I believe it is against the law to ship snakes via the post office.

It is not illegal to ship through the post office. Have been in this business for more than 25years and I have shipped many animals through the postal service. Listen before you kids go putting anything up try to be in the business for years then you might know what you are talking about. Hence the I believe in your statement. There is a big difference between thinking and knowing OK??? I have been collecting herps since my childhood and brought my first snake in the house when Iwas 3 and I am almost 50 now.I have been in business here in Florida for the past 18 years and have worked for one of the largest import/exporters in the country. Besides the fact that evidently you did not read the post correctly. I stated that I had sent my sister stuff through the mail. If you have no clue keep out of the conversation.Hell from the sound of it I have been doing this longer than you have been alive. When you become a professional in the field,let me know?? K?? When you get published worldwide twice for your work as a herpetologist,when you become one of the leading experts on introduced exotics in your state,and when you get to be the first person to go to another country and be approved by that countries government to remove exotics there and ship them back here,you let me know ok there groovy?? So yes I am sure of what I stated and know how this business works Ok there tough guy. Learn before you state anything!

Wow, you're so humble too!

Sorry to offend anyone Misty, but some of these people step out there with no clue what they are talikng about.That is very aggrivating to the pros out there when these novices jump out there and put things out to people. Not asking much of anyone just know before you blow(off at the Mouth). You know what I mean. If they aren't sure they should ask first,right? Yeah I don't play games with anyone I am straight to the point and some people get offended by that. O L. Like to help out when people need it. And your rolling eyes face I said the same thing when that kid said what he said. If you are offended,Tuff I aint here to please everyone. and if you are not offended then I thank you for looking at the post,thread whatever you want to call it. I have just been doing this type of work most of my life and have done it in Oh.,Pa.,Va.,and here. I have collected in 3 different countries and several other states in the U.S. I have been involved with supplying some of the largest dealers in the country. I know what I am talking about. If you feel the need to continue let me know,because some people just need to be set straight! Thanx Misty I'll send you an e-mail!

The United States Postal Service seems to disagree with you on this matter:

525 Nonmailable Live Animals
525.3 Reptiles

All snakes, turtles, and poisonous reptiles are nonmailable.

526 Mailable Live Animals
526.6 Small, Harmless, Cold–Blooded Animals

Small, harmless, cold–blooded animals, except for snakes, turtles, and turtle eggs, are mailable only when they meet certain requirements.

shut up, seriously. just because you've had no issues and these big "breeders/importers" that you've dealt with and/or worked for during your 25+ years experience do it, doesn't make it right. you act like you know more than anybody, when you don't and that's really annoying. it's one thing to legitimately attempt to help somebody, it's another to get your feathers ruffled when somebody corrects you.... with EXACT quotes from USPS!

OP: good luck with your rehoming.

I seriously would not mail this guy anything in the way that he suggested...it acually could come back and bite the shipper on the butt.

Yeah wish some people that sit on their backside all day on this freaking compter would get a life. I got this, don't need no help, been doing this business too long for someone to step and get into my affairs. If am not in your business,STAY OUT OF MINE! DIG IT!!! Yeah Brad bro I am wide open and don't play that game with anyone PERIOD regardless of who they are! Remember the flag with the snake on it DON"T TREAD ON ME!! New Yorkers are all that way. I'm from Erie,Pa. and I know tons of them,even down here and they are all the same no matter where you go. They just think that they are somebody and really aint crap from the dog in the yard. Yeah Isaid it anybody got a problem with that?? Well guess what that is your problem not mine and you need to fix you!
