I usually ship by usps. They guarantee delivery, if the package is below a certain weight and if the package doesn't have to cross the whole state, by 3pm the next day. They shipping cost is either $12.00 (around there) to $16.00. I have shipped through here, and the only problem I have the that my lizards usually get out of their paper bags and gives the buyer a short scare...LOL.

Good luck!

I love USPS it was cheap and easy but turned out to give me hell. I have had 5 animals late and one was even 4 days late but it was a healthy animal and was alive which shocked me. All the animals I have ever recieved and the animals that I have shipped that have always been on time have been UPS it runs about $30 which is high but your animal will arrive on time and alive.

None of those shippers will guarantee live arrival. If you want a guaranteed live arrival you will have to ship through an airline...even then you will have hell getting reimbursed! By the way...USPS will only ship lizards and frogs...shipping snakes is a Federal Offense! UPS will only ship frogs. Airborne will only ship frogs. I'm not sure what Fed Ex ships. I may be off on one of these, but NONE OF THEM SHIP SNAKES!...at least they aren't supposed to...you may have a cool person at the local office that knows, but they really aren't supposed to.
