I just had this problem a few weeks ago. Delta dash does snakes and fedex does business to business-ups and dhl DO NOT SHIP REPTILES. Thats what I was told. You also cannot send through regular mail that's illegal. Also airports and some airport companies also deliver and ship! Hope that helps a little.

I was told you do have to have an account with FedEx and that they only ship business to business. I called them and that's what I was told. DHL also told me they don't ship reptiles! Maybe it depends what state your in! I dunno it's so dumb. How the Heck does everyone ship everything then? It makes no sense!

YES. Ok! See but what about the people who are only wanting to ship snakeS? What and who are they supposed to use! Thas my whole issue! There is not a company that will be easy and willing to ship snakes! Like FEDEX is with lizards! That's what I meant! Unless you do know of a company like that? That would help me a huge bunch!
