    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....

Ive read up on stuff, and i have a few ball pythons id like to sell, but locally no buyers have yet been interested. Id like to expand my reaches with shipping especially if my female does indeed lay eggs and i produce a clutch

SYR is what im probably going to look into.

How exactly do i go about it, i have to buy the supplies to ship right? Is this something you'd normally charge the buyer or pay yourself and just charge cost of animal + shipping?

Im not looking to ship internationally, not yet i think that'll be waaay down the road, im new to this whole thing, never shipped before (but received once) and to continue with how new i am, this will be my first clutch if she takes.

Thanks in advance for any information you might be able to give. Im asking around as i want to be totally prepared when i do finally need to ship.

I think what most sellers do is add a few dollars to the actual shipping rate, just to cover the cost of the shipping material. Please note the word *few*, buyers can easily find out what you paid for shipping and most have an idea how much a box and some Styrofoam cost. Btw..have you searched Youtube? over 45k video's under the search "How to ship a reptile".
 
The cost of the packaging, heat/cold packs, bags, deli cups are factored into the selling price. The shipping would be the actual cost.
