Domestic shipping of reptiles
For commercial shipments of reptiles and amphibians, air cargo appears to be the primary mode of
shipping. Reptiles and amphibians that are considered to be harmless can be mailed via the US
Postal Service;
however, all snakes, turtles, and poisonous reptiles are considered to be dangerous
and thus are not allowed to be mailed (www.usps.com; Publication 52). Reptiles and amphibians
that are mailed must be less than 20 inches in length. Airborne Express does allow the shipment
of turtles and frogs, though they do not accept live snakes, lizards, and all other reptiles or
amphibians (
www.airborne.com). The UPS and Federal Express (
www.fedex.com) guidelines
state that neither of these shippers accept live animals.
