Dont bother looking for Collins details, hes stopped doing it now.. there is another courier I know of called Reptile Travel, link below.. but I wouldnt know how "good" they are as ive never used them.

On a side note regarding this Reptile Travel courier, and I realy dont want to seem crule or nasty when saying this, but isnt it a bit 'strange' to post a picture and details of your dead born child on the front page of your reptile courier service website?

I didnt realise it was but after all was said and done John at genetic gems uses John King all the time he said that he is very reliable and extremely well priced

His Number is 07759 53 61 11 for anyone interested

i get all my stock sent to me by TNT,well thats what my stockist uses and ive always had my stuff sent to me ok

Tnt is great but they will no longer take new contracts from private addresses and apart from that they do not actually ship reptiles.I knowe the suppliers do send them but they get no garentee for the animals.

The problem with using tnt is that they collect around lunchtime the day before and deliver within 24 hours but if they are not aware reptiles are being carried they are left in a van overnight.

The reason i know all this is i used to own a reptile shop in clacton on sea and tried to open an account with them.

as i said ive never had a problem with what ive had ! they must know there are reptiles in what i order as it states in the crates in big letters "LIVE REPTILES" I also get a animal transport certificate from my suplier that the driver has to give me when i get my package,stating what they have picked up and times etc, i guess what it comes down to is if you buy from peeps that dont mention whats in a package the van drivers will treat it as any normal package

Um guys, Ray Hine uses TNT overnight courier service and if Ray uses it i'm sure it is fine. Altho i prefer to have them brought to me by someone who deals with reptiles and knows what they are doing, but if you cannot find that from a breeder maybe you should find a breeder that travels to you and delivers personally. It may be hard but guys like this are out there and obviously you gotta pay a bit extra for them to do this but at least your mind is at peace. If you have no other choice tho then i think TNT would be fine just ask the breeder if TNT will be informed that they are carrying live reptiles!!! Just my 2 cents.
