    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....

So if UPS will not accept snakes how are we suppose to ship them? I am certified but from what I understand they have banned ALL snakes. What are we to do?
 
You can ship via FedEx as long as you are certified and have the waiver.

You can ship via UPS using Reptiles Express

What do you mean when you state that you are certified?
 
I jumped through all the hoops for UPS and got my certification. Which they never asked me for. In fact I was so proud of it the first time I shipped a snake I asked if they wanted to see it and they said "oh, if you know about it then you have it" Talk about a let down...
 
It was a while back. Over a year and a half ago. I would have to dig to find the paperwork. I just got my account with reptiles express. It was SO easy! I hope silly people don't ruin this company. I like the discount. Heavens knows shipping is expensive enough and I can use all the discounts I can get.

I think we may have had a conversation about this back at the time (I could be wrong - I've had the discussion with many people, and I don't keep notes, lol)...do you mean FedEx?
