Where Can I buy A Baby Royal That Will Mail It?
Hi, I live in Shetland, and Im about to get my first snake!
But living on such a random island, there are no pet shops! So I was wondering, can anyone point me in the direction of a good online dealer that will mail their reptiles? I'm going for a Royal Python, and I would like a baby captive bred. I would ask this site, but everyone here wants you to either come pick up the snake or to meet and up here where it costs about £50-£100 just to get off the island, thats not possible. Thats why i need somewhere that can deliver.  High maintinence ain't I? :P

Get to the mainland, buy an adult pair, take them back home, breed them and make money buy cornering the reptile market on the island

Hi there,
I think most places that do courier are not willing to courier to the highlands and Islands. This is because of the extra transport time and therefore the greater risk to the animal.

There is only one parcel courier that accepts reptiles and I believe they are UK mainland only.
I suspect you're going to have to go the extra cost to get onto the mainland to pick it up from somewhere, or pay a very high cost for personal delivery.

oh :S
Well, do Exotic Pets - Amphibian, Reptile and Invert UK exotic pet shop deiver all over the country? But Ive heard they have a pretty bad reputation. Well, I guess I could go to the mainland. Next time Im going down should be in May or June though  Anyone know any reptile petshops in or around Aberdeen? because thats where the boat goes, so it would be easiest to got there. Then again, I guess I could go down south sooner.

It's not the company, it's the courier. There is only one courier in the UK that legally accepts live reptiles, and that's TNT.
It has to be next day guaranteed delivery... because of the location and the time to get to the Islands TNT cannot guarantee next delivery, therefore people cannot send live animals. TNT UK - 12:00 Express - TNT Scotland & Scottish Isles 12:00 Express delivery service available to all postcodes excluding the Scottish Isles and the following areas: AB23, AB30-99, IV, KW1-14, PA21-40, PH19-40, PH41 Sector 4 and PH49-50 Isle Of Man 12:00 Express delivery service not available Channel Islands and Isles of Scilly 12:00 Express delivery service not available

you could order one cheap frome a breeder and ask them to meet you as close to the island as possible so you just catch the boat over get it and travel ack. that way there is minimal risk to the animal and its cheaper

Does anyone else on the island want reptiles? Perhaps you could group together with some friends or similar to share the cost of one person going over to the mainland?
