Ok,now more,and more,I am finding out that the People,and "regular" users of the Kingsnake Forums or getting more Lacsidasical,and Less precise with the Information that they are giving out!Quite honestly this is why I dont come here to the Kingsnake forums that often,because all they do is freaking direct you to a site,or give you some kinda Bull-Crap that is basically BULL-CRAP!!!!!!

Well,all I want is a basic question answered,doens seem to much to ask does it?Anyways,I have 53 Bearded Dragon eggs right now in the Incubator that are Due to hatch this week!!!!Well,I have a Web-Site up and running,and they will be posted there for sale and all,and I will have to ship the Baby Dragons through the mail.

Well,I have no problem with shipping reptiles,and think that it is nothing but business,and a great way that the Herp-Industry has "Suited" to accomadate the growing Herp Consumers accross the USA!I know how to Package them securely,and safely,and all of that part,but the thing I am stumped on is Which Mail Service to use?My options so far on looking over the later post on this forum are,UPS,or Fed-Ex.Both seem to be about the same to me....????I was just wondering which ones you all use,and why you may lean toward one or the other depending on your personal preferences????Another thing I need to know is whether shipping Harmless Lizards,or Harmless Reptiles is Illegal when using UPS,or Fed-Ex????I dont care whether it is or not,honestly,even if it is not following the Companys Gay-@ss rules,I will continue to ship the animals through there service....?So,is it Illegal to ship Lizards through one of these carriers....?Thanks alot for all who give me some answers,and I appreciate it!Oh,and one more thing,if shipping a Lizard through one of these Services is Illegal,I would think that when you shipped it you wouldnt mark it as "LIVE ANIMAL",or "HARMLESS LIZARD",or anything like that to let them know that they are actually Shipping a Live Animal,,,right???????If it is Illegal to ship a herp through one of the above services,then I wouldnt mark it as Live would I???Because if I did,then they would Open it,and be Fags,and not follow through with the Shipment,right?BUT,if it is ok to ship a Live Harmless lizard through one of the above carriers then I could mark it as a Harmless Lizard,or Live Animal,,,right??????

Well,thank you for your time,and let me remind you that all comments that I get are greatly appreciated...

Thank YOU!
Jeff
