no to two day shipping. not worth the risk.

I'd never allow my shipper to ship a snake 2-day...not worth the risk.

Although I'd never endorse it, in "normal" to cool weather, I'd be very interested to see a min/max thermometer go thru 2 day and see what the temps are like.

But not in the winter relying on a heat pack... the half to almost a day long is enough as it is.

However realize that a lot of the imports come over on voyages much much much longer than a day. And a lot die, but a lot live too.

As slam dunk a question/answer this is (no), it makes me curious the extremes a package might encounter on a two day trip. Or lack of extremes

I had a guy ship me my snakes via 2 day. I don't reccomend it. It was perfect temps to do it at, and everything did work out well, but it was close to having them lost durring the weekend. UGH! I have too much invested in my snakes to risk a 2 day shipment. And I didn't know that the guy was shipping my snakes 2 day until after they had been sent out. Lovely. And if you did  ship 2 day, you would need a 72 hour heat pack to distribute the heat evenly over the longer period of time.

If you are certified to ship then it goes against your contact to ship 2 day. Everything needs to be shipped via priority overnight. So at that point it becomes a question whether it is worth it to you to break your contact.

That was one thing I told the guy was I had to check with Fedex cause I wasn't even sure if it's allowed.  Definately not worth breaking my contract with Fedex and more importantly not worth the life of a snake, I will inform him that I can't do two day.  I honestly thought it was going to be a bad idea, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks everyone!

I wouldn't recommend it. It's too risky. Push towards an overnight.

I think it is a good idea. That way you don't have to worry about the snake or getting in trouble with FedEx.
