Questions about shipping snakes

[Cmwells90]

So I'm looking to buy a new boa, this will be the first I have purchased online because I'm looking for something specific. I also hope to breed in the future so shipping is going to be something I'll need to be familiar with. I'm curious about shipping times. I know shipping sites will suggest priority overnight, but what is a real viable shipping option? If I need to pay 50+ for overnight (which seems to be the average) then I will. But if I could safely ship the snake with, let's say, two day shipping or a cheaper method like at home delivery which for Fedex is like $15 and is next business day, then I'd like that option as well.

Also if you guys have any other pieces of advice to offer with receiving and shipping reptiles I'd appreciate them!
