Anyone know of any Retailers/Breeders/Wholesalers

Hello,

Does anyone know of any good Reptile Retailers/Breeders/Wholesalers that are willing/able to ship reptiles outside of the United States?  I get anywhere between 1 to 5+ emails a week from potential customers who live in other countries looking for animals.  Sometimes all they want is just one ball python, but the majority of the emails are potential customers looking to make large purchases (either on high doller animals or a large group of animals).  

Since we (the East Bay Vivarium) don't deal with shipping outside of the United States, I have no choice but to turn away these customers.  However, I would really like to be able to refer them to someone who would be able to help them out.  I would ideally, like to compile a list of people who are able to ship outside of the U.S. who are great to deal with and have quality animals.  So if you, or someone you know does deal with shipping reptiles out of the U.S. let me know!!  

Thanks,

Celia,

I to ship World Wide.  I do however have a minimu order of $2000 to ship out of country.  One thing you might want to check on before you send someone to a person that says they ship internationally is make sure they truly licensed to do so.  The US FWS licence's parties to import and export in the country. I know Ben Seigal is Licenced as well as I am.  I can't speak for any other person though.  If a person is not licenced and ships C.I.T.E.S. animals both parties are subject to violating the ESA &  Lacy Act and possible jail time and fines. Just want to make sure you look into the right directions for your needed help.  It does not matter if you use me or not, I just want to ensure you get the legal process to get the desired animals shipped.

Hello,

Thanks for the heads up and all the info Rob! spam_I definitely am not familiar with the regulations involved in shipping outside of the U.S. since we don't do it so all the information you mentioned is very helpful! spam_I will add both you and Tobin to my list of wholesalers so far and check with everyone else to make sure they are in fact certified.
