We ship reptiles across Canada using Reptile Express. We pack every shipment carefully for the season and weather conditions, with appropriate insulation and heating or cooling packs when needed. Before shipping, we check the weather at both ends to make sure conditions are safe for your animal.
1. Place Your Order – Choose your animal and complete your order online. If you have any questions before ordering, just contact us.
2. We Choose a Shipping Day – We check the weather at both ends and arrange a safe day for your animal to travel.
3. We Pack Your Reptile – Your animal is securely packed in an insulated shipping box, with heating or cooling packs when conditions require them.
4. Overnight Delivery – Your shipment travels with Reptile Express. Once it’s on the way, you’ll receive tracking information so you can follow its progress.
During very hot or cold weather, we may recommend shipping your animal to a FedEx hub instead of directly to your home. This keeps the package indoors until you’re ready to pick it up and avoids unnecessary time on a delivery truck.
If weather conditions aren’t safe for shipping, we’ll hold your animal and arrange another shipping day with you. The animal’s safety always comes first.
