Don, I thought that any animal going in or out of the country requires and import/export permit and inspection at a major port, regartless of CITES or not. Now YOU personally may not need the import/export if you go thru a trans-shipper in Los Angeles, but somebody there that is handling the export for you will have to have the import/export permit and you will then be paying them a fee for their services. I could be wrong but that is the way understood the process.
I would be curious what you come up with. For me it would be more convienent and cheaper to go tru someone in Chicago, since it's much closer.
Problem is that for a lot of the requests that I get that $250 shipping is more that the snake order costs.
