What is ShipYourReptiles.com?

Updated

ShipYourReptiles.com is a live reptile shipping service that describes itself as "100% UPS certified to ship live reptiles affordably, securely and easily." If you need to send a live reptile to another address, this site is built around that task: you can get a quote, book the shipment, track it, and buy shipping supplies or insurance in the same place. It is aimed at keepers, breeders, and others in the reptile hobby rather than general parcel shipping.

What the site is for

The homepage positions the company as "Your Reptile Shipping Pros" and centers on three core actions:

  • Quick Quote — enter package dimensions, origin, destination, and weight to see a price before booking.
  • Book a Shipment — schedule the actual shipment.
  • Track a Shipment — follow a package already in transit.

Around those, it offers shipping supplies and insurance, which matter because live-animal shipping has requirements that ordinary parcels don't.

The quote tool, step by step

The Quick Quote form on the homepage asks for:

  1. Package dimensions — length, width, and height.
  2. Shipping From and Shipping To — origin and destination.
  3. Weight.
  4. Residential — a checkbox indicating a residential delivery address.

After you submit, the page shows "Loading Quotes" and returns pricing options. The expected result is a set of quotes you can use to decide whether and how to ship. If you only want a rough cost before committing, this is the step to use.

Support and account resources

The site's support section links to:

  • Track a Shipment
  • Book a Shipment
  • Quick Quote
  • Shipping Supplies
  • Insurance
  • FAQ
  • Newsletter
  • Contact Us
  • Alerts
  • Partnerships

There is also a newsletter signup ("Subscribe and Follow") for updates from All Pro Shipping, the parent brand referenced in the footer.

Certification and advocacy

Two claims are worth noting because they affect whether the service fits your needs:

  • UPS certification — the site states it is "100% UPS certified to ship live reptiles." That certification is the basis for its claim to ship live animals legally and safely through UPS.
  • USARK support — ShipYourReptiles identifies as a Platinum Member of the United States Association of Reptile Keepers (USARK) and links to a donation page, framing reptile shipping rights as tied to legislative defense.

What it does not tell you on the homepage

The homepage does not list specific prices, service tiers, or whether an account is required to book. Pricing appears only after you submit the quote form, and the footer notes a Braintree payment integration, which suggests card payments are processed at checkout. For exact costs, restrictions on species or destinations, and account requirements, use the Quick Quote tool or the FAQ and Contact links rather than assuming terms.

When this site is the right fit

Use ShipYourReptiles.com if you need to ship a live reptile within a system that is set up for live-animal handling, and you want quoting, booking, tracking, supplies, and insurance in one place. If you are shipping non-living goods, a general carrier will usually be simpler and cheaper. If you need to confirm legality for a specific species or route, check the FAQ and contact support before booking.
