:I think that SOMEONE (I would if I could get a big enough loan) should start up an animal-only shipping company. Like UPS, but just do animals...have a few planes and lots of trucks... SPECIALIZE in herps....I'll be graduating in May with a BA in Business...if anyone wants to look into this further??

Interesting idea. A couple such companies developed for shipping pet dogs and cats. I know some folks who sent a dog off with one of these companies, otherwise well-recommended by people they trusted, and the dog ended up nearly dying of dehydration and stress anyway.

A company is only as good as it's every employee when it comes to live cargo, especially when that "live cargo" is someone's beloved pet and/or valuable show/breeding animal.
