Hi there, I have a question about buying ball pythons from abroad. Is it like importing?
If the seller can ship the ball python to my house, do I need to prepare any paperwork or prepare anything like some license before the delivery?

I don’t know, but if you included which country it was coming from and going to, maybe someone here has experience. I’m sure the laws vary by country.

@solarserpents is right all countries are different. I imported a ball python from Canada to the USA with no problem on my part. It did cost around $125 to export and I had to wait for the exporter to do all necessary steps. I did absolutely nothing though and it shipped to a hub for me to pick up. Easy!

Thank you. The snake is from a city in Europe to a city in California.
Seller says he can do international delivery.

So no paperwork should be prepared by buyer side right?

Yes I have heard it is similar from the uk. You will probably have to pay more and be on their timeframe. The exporter takes care of all the paperwork on their end, unless there is something different law wise from the uk
