    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 don't know if this belongs here ! If not I'm sorry! But does anyone know of anyone in Egypt that ships snakes ? I have a buddy that wants to imports snakes from Egypt but doesn't know how! If someone knows anyone he could talk to on how to do it? Thanks
 
I don't know anyone myself, but I would think it would be similar to importing fish. Would likely be much easier to work with a transhipper who already has the necessary permits and paperwork than to apply for all that himself. Try contacting some of the retailers who sell snakes from other countries?
 
I was just reading an available list from India, and under terms and conditions it mentioned $100 CITES fee and $150 airport fee, and there would also be other charges on top of those. Not an inexpensive deal, would need to bring in a fair number of animals to be worthwhile. I've been into aquarium fish for many years, just recently gotten back into snakes, but importing any animals will be similar. Try e-mailing Tom Crutchfield in FL, he's been doing it most of his life. He should have contacts in other countries.
 
Ya I know the fees are ridiculous ! I was trying to find someone that had the permits to help him out! I have tom on my Facebook I'll give him a message and see what he says
