How We Ship
*video coming soon*

 Safe Shipping Weather
We will only ship to your home or work when weather in route is 35-90 degrees
Fahrenheit. This temperature range is extended to 25-95 degrees Fahrenheit upon
arrival if you opt to have your live animals held for pickup at a main FedEx Shipping
Center. Animals must be picked up within 4 hours of arrival for live arrival guarantee to
apply.
Orders generally arrive by 12:00 PM
Typically the delivery time is before 12:00 PM (your local time) in most metro areas, but
some remote areas may not be guaranteed to arrive until "end of day", which is usually
late afternoon or early evening at the latest (4:30PM).
FedEx Drivers WILL NOT wait for you to come to the door.
Generally speaking, FedEx will quickly knock or ring the doorbell, and leave your
package near your front door. While this sometimes seems crazy to people who are
new to having reptiles shipped to them, but this is industry standard. We purposely do

not require signature, as we do not want to risk having reptiles go back on a hot (or
cold) truck for the rest of the day, in the event you don't make it to the door in time. This
is for the safety of the reptiles. Although we don't require a signature for delivery, we
can still obtain GPS delivery coordinates and other information when needed, in order to
determine where a package was left and verify delivery
