What is the best way to transport a corn snake from the UK to Canada?

My corn snake showed up after being lost for a year in my parent's back garden, in that time I have moved to Canada. I now want to get my snake transported to Canada. Does anyone know the best way to do this? Do airlines offer pet transport services, or should I go with a private company? If so, what are the details/things I should know?

1. You will need to apply for a Canadian importation license first, and the process will give you the basic requirements you have to meet before shipping, along with the approved methods for doing so. The UK may require an export license. Do not try to simply sneak it through, it will be caught at the airport and cause you a lot of trouble. If it wasn't caught, then being shipped like any other piece of mail could be very hard on the snake. Just please don't try to sneak it through. A hassle, I know, but they don't play around with moving animals from country to country.
