Why we don’t list a fixed price
Every animal we offer is a living creature, and shipping a live reptile or mammal safely and legally is very different from shipping an ordinary product. The final price you pay depends on:
- Your destination country — import permits, CITES documentation, customs duties, and courier live-animal surcharges vary significantly from one country to another.
- The species — some species are regulated under CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) and require export/import permits on both sides.
- The shipping method — live animal air cargo, IATA-compliant packaging, and temperature-controlled handling are priced per shipment, not per item.
Because of this, we quote every order individually rather than publishing a one-size-fits-all price that could be inaccurate — or worse, that hides real compliance costs from you.
How to get a quote
- Browse our animals and pick the species you’re interested in.
- Tap “Request a quote by email” on the product page, or email us directly at info@egyptian-reptiles.com.
- Tell us your destination country (and city, if known). We’ll confirm the details below.
- Once you confirm, we prepare the animal, complete all export paperwork, and arrange IATA-compliant live-animal shipping.
- Whether the species can legally be imported into your country
- Required permits/documentation (CITES, veterinary health certificate, etc.)
- Total cost: animal price + packaging + live-animal courier fee + any customs duties on your side
- Estimated transit time
Our commitment
- We only ship animals that are healthy and fit for travel, packed according to IATA Live Animal Regulations.
- We handle all Egyptian export documentation on our end.
- Import compliance in the destination country (permits, licenses, quarantine rules) is the buyer’s responsibility. We will tell you what we know based on experience, but local regulations change — please verify with your own country’s wildlife/customs authority before ordering, especially for CITES-listed species.
- We do not ship where prohibited by Egyptian export law or by the destination country’s import law.
