    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....

I know this question gets asked a lot, but I am still confused. I have a pair of Surinames that I am trying to sell. I have received a lot of response, but everyone wants them shipped. I have never shipped anything and don't know who to use or anything else about the process. I live in Dallas, Tx. I have called many carriers in my area and they all said that they do not ship snakes. I have no idea how to become a verified shipper, and I am having trouble getting answers. I do not want to label the box as having anything other than what is really in it. ( I will not ship my snakes labeled as frogs.) Is there a legit way to ship snakes? Any advice and info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Kayla

shipping info

Kayla,

You are correct that most common carriers will not ship snakes. That being said, most snakes that I have received, even from top breeders, were shipped using UPS, FedEx, or Airborne Express. If you don't want to use these, you can use the airlines. This is a legal and safe way to ship. As you stated, to use Delta you must be verified, but you don't need to be verified to use either United Cargo or Northwest Cargo. This is a very safe way to ship because it is same day delivery. The downside is you have to drive to the airport and it is usually a little more expensive.
