Shipping

[GarterNovice]

How would one go about shipping a snake to someone else? Especially in the winter time?

One would do one's best to avoid it.

i agree especially with that rcent misshap with a shipment to kyle that got lost however i dont rmember seeing anything about it being found

[adamanteus]

I must agree. At this time of year, if you can't make the delivery in person in a cozy warm car, wait for better weather!

Spring will be here soon enough

[GarterNovice]

That's what I kinda figured. When it is warm enough, though, is there a particular service you prefer to use? Fedex? UPS? Heaven forbid the USPS?

[infernalis]

Prefer FedEx

[drache]

prefer fedex myself
and please make sure both parties are in contact and follow tracking, so possible mishaps can be caught immediately

If you really wanted to ship a snake in the winter i wold do delta

[GarterNovice]

I would definitely try to avoid shipping in the winter if at all possible. I'd hate for a snake to freeze in transit. Do you put air holes in the package? Mark it with labels that it's a live animal so they'll treat the package better?
