Yeah... it's weird that, for example, AirBorne Express specifically does not
allow lizards or snakes, but will allow turtles. UPS doesn't allow anything
live (yet, virtually EVERY live specimen shipment I've ever received at the
University has come via UPS... including E. coli and various strains of
Strep!... I can only assume that the supply companies have a deal with UPS,
but I don't now how to do that myself).
I've also gotten live shipments via FedEx though... from zoos. With LIVE in
big bold letters. So they also seem to have exceptions, but again, I don't
know how to get that exception.
chaos.
