   We can also accept PayPal. Be sure to verify by phone that your order has been accepted and is awaiting payment before using this option.

   No minimum order is for orders shipped anywhere in the United States.

   Most types of animals can be shipped via Express Mail, and FED-X (other carriers can be used, please inquire).

   Shipping costs range from $25-$75 depending on number of animals and the size of the shipment.

   All venomous snakes are shipped "air freight" to your nearest major airport (YOU must tell us which one) via the least costly cargo category applicable on the date that we've confirmed (unless you request a more costly express category, such as "Delta DASH").

   Call your local airport to find out about air freight charges from Tampa, Florida (airport code = TPA). We ship on Delta wherever they offer service; other areas can usually be reached through an alternate carrier.

   Styrofoam-lined boxes and heat packs are used in Winter. A $10.00 packing charge will be added to all orders.

   ALL venomous orders require a $25.00 packing box fee per box.
