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.

Keeping box at fedex for pick up?
Hi everyone, I just had a quick question. If someone was unable to be at their home to pick up a snake would you be able to send it to the fedex location to hold for pick up later since it's climate controlled and what would be an acceptable time for them to be picked up and what times would you need to get the package by if you did that? Ideally I want him picked up right away but I want to know if he would be alright waiting till later in a building. He would have a 60 hour heat pack.

All of my incoming shipments, and probably 98% of my outgoing shipments, are held at FedEx. Just make sure you are in agreement about where it will be held (the one that comes up as closest may not be, or the recipient may prefer another station for various reasons).

Thank you, so would he be ok there if he was held till 4pm maybe the day he arrived instead of being picked up at 10:30, are they still open then? The heat pack would last that long so I guess he would be ok. Thanks again for all the help, I know I have endless questions about shipping lol.

The hours can vary by facility, but you can check them at FedEx.com.
I prefer to have my packages held for pickup because I can get them at 08:30, and not have to wait up for the truck.....or, if I have something going on, it's not a big deal to swing by at 13:00 (or 16:00). That said, as a shipper, I like to know in advance if the customer is planning on a later pickup - in some cases, changes in the packaging might be indicated.
