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.

International Animal transport question
I'm not sure this is really the best place for this, but I figure it's better than most of the other areas I considered...
Anyway,
I have a friend that is going away to college in Sweden relatively soon, and wanted me to find out what the procedure for transporting a single pet ball python overseas with her would be. Since I have never done any import/export business, and have not moved outside of the US with animals in my lifetime (yet), I figured I'd check to see if anyone here had any insight as to whether or not it would even be possible...
Any information at all would be great, or even contact info on anyone that might know more...
Thanks!

For a ball python you'd need to apply for CITES - which take minimum of 90 days to get approval for - then you're looking at a USDA stamp, USFW inspection, possibly a health cerificate (not sure on that one because we dont ship to sweden - some countries require it, some dont) along with the actual freight (around $250 minimum which is good for 2 boxes)
All in all - it's a lot of money,time and effort for a single snake.
Plus you have to be licensed to export - and know how to go about getting it done which... well frankly is not easy otherwise more people would be doing it.
