    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Sorry guys, I don't know where to put this... but since it's a ball python in question I'll put it here.

One of my best friends lives in Uruguay and LOVES my ball pythons. She can get normals there but there are currently no morph breeders in Uruguay. She wants an albino and I'd love to get her one for Christmas.

Do any of you know how to export an animal overseas? I know there's CITIES to reckon with but I don't know much about exportation laws. I also don't know much about Uruguay's importation laws but I figure if they have normal BPs there, it can't be too bad D=

Do you guys have any thoughts? Anyone with experience shipping internationally?
 
Yes, it is really expensive and in order for the snake to be imported you will need to have a CITES permit and the assistance of a broker. It is really cost prohibitive to import just one snake...
 
You don't have to have a "broker"...what you have to have is an export license, or a person with an export license that is willing to deal with it. CITES paperwork, health inspection, an airport that deals with international shipments. I believe the recipient has to have an import permit, as well. It's a pretty big hassle, and a fairly expensive prospect, for a single snake.

You might want to check out the shipping forum - this topic comes up fairly regularly, and there are some very detailed answers by experienced people.
