Why post if you've never shipped?! Brawn...

From my understanding, in the States, you need to be certified to ship via Fed Ex, in which case you can ship to residents. For your current situation, you can look into the ship your reptile company and see if they can help you.

he is a fedex certified reptile shipper, apparently they technically dont ship to residents even if you are certified. its just fedex policy.. apparently.

taken from fedex shipping policy terms:

FedEx Express does not accept live-animal shipments as part of its regular-scheduled service and does not transport household pets such as dogs, cats, birds and hamsters. FedEx Express may accept certain shipments of live animals such as horses, livestock and zoo animals (to and from zoo locations only) on an exception basis if approved and coordinated by the FedEx Live Animal Desk (call 1.800.405.9052).

If approved by FedEx, we may accept non-venomous reptiles, amphibians, live/tropical fish and beneficial insects on an exception basis under the following conditions:

Shipments must be from a business to a business (from a breeder to a pet store, for example).

The shipper must have its packaging tested and pre-approved by FedEx Packaging Design and Development for the type of animal being shipped. Call 1.800.633.7019 for assistance. It is the responsibility of the shipper to adequately package shipments for all temperature extremes and handling conditions.
Contact your FedEx account executive for details and additional requirements.

that was more my question, what other services are there? USPS doesnt have it, and UPS prohibits all snakes in their live animal shipping policy.
