QuestionQUESTION: We are preparing to relocate from the US to South Africa. My sons each have a pet. We have a 9 month old rabbit that is in good health. We also have a 1 year old Leopard Gecko.
We are concerned about moving reptiles specifically but are wanting to take both pets with us. What should we be expecting to be a part of the this process?
ANSWER: Dear Beth
I would like a little more info in order to help you.
Where are you now? Where will you fly from? What airline(s)?
Have you been in touch with any of the pet shippers in So Africa?
I would like to recommend to you a couple that could much better
answer the questions you have....
It is not so much the difficulty to ship from USA as it would be to
ship INTO So Africa.
Waiting for some more info
Sincerely, Jerry Mishler

QUESTION: Mr. Mishler,
We are currently located in Columbus Ohio. We have not finalized the travel plan as of yet. However, we will most likely fly on Delta or South African Airways for the International portion of our flights. Previous trips have had us departing the US from Atlanta, JFK, or Dulles. We will probably fly on Delta or United for the domestic portion.
I haven't contacted any pet shippers as of yet. I did find one online but there "form" left no place for info on anything except cats and dogs. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
