Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Any living thing we ship is governed by the Lacey Act (as well as some nonliving things), not just the 4 species that were classified as Injurious Wildlife. Lacey involves a lot more than burms, rocks, and yellow anacondas...I know you know that Shadera, but anybody that doesn't should probably figure out what the Lacey Act is before posting a bunch of poorly informed comments.[/quote]

Like I said.....
The Lacey Act was around long before this nonsense with Burmese pythons became an issue.
A quick Google search should get you started.

In all fairness, it would be FedEx physically transporting them across state lines. What are the odds that FedEx may stop the shipping of live animals because of this?

With all due respect, you don't really seem to have a clue what the Lacey Act is - as I've already mentioned, it is a lot more than burms, afrocks, and yellow anacondas. There are numerous posts on this site about it, and there's always Google. Transport of any living thing - plant or animal - as well as some nonliving things (carcasses, skins, teeth, other parts, etc) are governed by the Lacey Act. As such, yes, king snakes are a part of it....as are perch, leopard frogs, and tomato plants.

Pretty slim, unless it becomes an issue. It won't be the shipping company that gets in trouble, it will be the people sending and receiving.

I think I know quite well what it is. FedEx has no obligation to ship living animals, and if organizations like HSUS (which have already blew the large constrictor "problem" out of proportion) wish to turn any seizures into a media circus, FedEx might just stop dealing with it all together.

To put it simply the Lacey Act was the first federal law protecting (all) wildlife (enacted 1900).
Today it's mostly used to prevent the importation or spread of potentially dangerous non-native species.
