I need to take my pet snake (an 18 inch ball python) from Tampa to Pittsburgh in May. Are there any airlines that will let me take it at checked baggage?
If not, is there any other way I can have her shipped up to me?
Is there any airline that will allow me to transport my pet snake?

No. It’s against federal regulations to have a snake on a commercial plane… at all. Checked or anything. If you want to transport him, you’re going to have to get certified by UPS and mail him to yourself.
Sorry. The government just doesn’t want to take that risk with snakes.
Yes, you should be able to bring her on board. I saw puppies, kittens, and hedgehogs in carry on travel bags at LAX and Houston in the last 6 months.
I don’t know… people have been wierd since Snakes On a Plane.
Hey, no airline might without extra cost.
stuff it in a pillow case and put it down your pants that is what my friend used to do or in your pocket
You can only ship the snake thru delta dash or thru fed ex. No airline will allow a snake in check on baggage. If you can, you need to have someone ship the snake for you.
