I think you have to set up a special account with the shipper (DHL/FedEx) to be able to ship reptiles. And you need to make sure to package the animal very carefully so it is kept at the proper temperature, and label it so that they will (hopefully) not throw the package around too much. You'll need to make sure the recipient will be home to receive the package in person, and I strongly suggest that you stay on top of the shipment and track it online, and be in contact with the recipient to make sure the package gets to them safely. I recently had trouble with DHL being unable to find my address (twice in one week!) and misdelivering my baby cornsnakes. The snakes ended up dying before we got the package to the right house. The shipper packaged them properly and we (the shipper and I) stayed on top of the package from door to door, but the snakes didn't make it. I strongly suggest that you be really, really careful if you ship animals.

Yes I Wanna Ship Through Probably Ups-do I Just All The Ups Company And Talk To Them? This Is My First Time Shipping Through The Mail I Bought Before But Never Sold!! So Thanks If You Can Help Me!!

You need to call around and see who will ship non-venomous snakes. Some companies have a rule that says you can't ship any kind of snake so make sure you are clear with them that is is a completely harmless snake and that it will be securely packaged, and if they say no then don't try to 'sneak' it in by labeling the box as something else, if anything happens you wont be compensated.

Sometimes you can also do it at the airport. Make sure to read up on packing the reptile (pillow case) and managing the temps. It's expensive all said and done but needs to be a major concern.

I have DHL pick it up from my house and just make sure to label the box really well. Overnight or same day is a must! Calling and arranging it, or doing it online, is usually easier than taking it in as the cashier usually shutters when you mention there is a reptile in the box.

And PLEASE stop capitalizing every word in you post.
It makes it extremely difficult to read!
