***Pet Thread***

Yea, most of the reptiles at big chain stores like that are all the imports that are sick and shit that aren't bought by individual buyers. Petco gets all thier Ball Pythons from one importer here in Florida. I've been at the shipping port in Miami many times picking thru crates of snakes with a couple friends of mine that breed. After seeing some of the snakes that get crated back up, and sent to Petco and other people, I wouldn't walk into a pet store, let alone buy anything from them.

I'm certified thru FedEx to ship reptiles. I THINK USPS will allow shipment of lizards, but I'd have to double check. FedEx is very pricey, it costs about $75 to ship a 2lb box that measures 12"x12"x12". USPS is really cheap, and I've never had a problem.

If I'm buying a lot of money in snakes ($500-$2500) I'll have them sent to me with Delta Dash, it's $120, and I know it will get there safely. After spending $2200 on a pair of snakes, and the retards at FedEx "losing" the box, I will never use them for shipping expensive snakes.

My fiancee and I have around 40 fish, 2 indoor cats and 3 outdoor cats, 3 dogs and a cockateil.

Here is a pic of Snoop, one of our cats and one of our fish tanks.
