Default importing corns from the us

I have seen some corn advertised in the us and was wondering how to import them and what the rough price would be?

They have to be quarantined. I dont know how it would be possible unless you know the breeder, but then im not an expert.

They do not need to be quarentined as they do not carry any diseases which can pass onto humans eg. rabies.

The only quarentine you'd need is when you get them back home.

Importing corns is easy. You need a week or two for paperwork from the US side, and 48 hours notice for paperwork over here (you're best hiring an agent over here to sort it). It's a long, stressful journey that is hard on the snakes - but still, shorter than them coming via Hamm, which breaks it up into two long stressful journeys but with a bigger chance for cross-infection at the show.

I can pretty much guarantee it'd be cheaper to buy the snake over here then it would be to organise an import. I have imported corns before, simply because I couldn't get the morphs I wanted in the UK - I wouldn't do it again, and I definitely wouldn't bother for morphs that are available over here.
