posting reptile to Rockhampton

[cadwallader]

hey i live on the goldcoast and want to send my spotted to rocky for a sale, but was asked how much...
so what is the best way and roughly the cost?

 

[redbellybite]

Id be finding out about the flood situation first, before sending any snake off ...

 

[Waterrat]

send it by boat. Ask the buyer if he would prefer a water python of a file snake. :lol:

 

[chickensnake]

i would say $60-$70 from my experiences, but if its a fat snakey it could be more

send it by boat. Ask the buyer if he would prefer a water python of a file snake. :lol:

It may even get hand delivered personally by the SES..Depending on the receivers position,i shall suggest waiting a few weeks til the flood situation is rectified..Otherwise the snake may end up in limbo...Small hatchies etc is generally $60 and more for bigger-heavier snakes..

the only way

The only way to send reptiles to Rockahmpton is Via Australian Air Express - which you have to send from the Brisbane Airport...and will cost you from $51 to about $85 depending on the size of the snake and the box used to send it in.
Dont forget to pack it correctly - in a bag, in a small box than in a slightly larger box ( all with air holes of course )
At the moment the airport in Rocky is closed due to the flooding and will be for a little while longer...

I do have to have to ask, why did you agree to send it if you didnt know how....

 

[cadwallader]

cheers guys i didnt agree i just said i would have a look for him and see if it is worth it...

 

[melluvssnakes]

I live in Rocky. Nothing is getting in or out of here for quite a while until the flood waters recede.

 

[pyrodarknessanny]

isnt the air port under water (as well as the rest of the town)

Give it a few days to a week, the flood water will be gone & everyone will be saying what flood.(untill the next one).
As Paula said it is really easy to send if you know how & have easy access to the airport.
If you want to know more please feel free to PM mrs davo.
cheers
Ian.
