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.

So where to now?
Apologies if this has already been discussed!
So any way reptiles express and ship your reptiles are out of the picture. IS there any possible way to purchase discounted shipping labels/ transit, any where else? Does becoming fedex certified give you some sort of discount? Will/when will ups allow to ship reptiles and more importantly snakes for that matter? Will they be partnering back up with said companies? Just a few questions that I'd appreciate if anyone could give me some info and or insight on. Thank you

Fedex has great prices for shipping. Through Fedex, you will be spending around the same amount you would have paid through RE and SYR. And the best part is, things will most likely never change through Fedex and you don't have to worry about them canceling your live animal shipping certification...that is unless you break the rules. They're a lot more understanding of peoples needs and it makes them A LOT of money.

Really? About the prices, everytime I did a check from a third party shipper compared to fedex or just ups it's self is was significantly less. Things may have changed, just wondering.

Stephen,
When you setup an account and get certified with FedEx you automatically get a discount, but lower discounts can be negotiated depending upon volume. Not everyone gets the same discounts, but I was able to negotiate rates with FedEx that were only $1-3 more then RE quotes.

At this point in time.. Fed Ex is the only legitimate way to ship snakes. UPS does allow the shipment of lizards , frogs and turtles and USPS does as well (it is Illegal to ship snakes through them). Hopefully RE can renegotiate their terms and get their shipping status back up soon because I had great experiences through them.

Thank you Stephanie and Catharine, I have been hearing so much poop about all of these situations. It's just nice to get the facts straight. I have had many great expierences through RE as well. But I have received many animals through Fedex and time and time again have done a super job. So I'm going to look into getting certified. Thanks for the info guys.
