Snake Bag vs. Delicups for Corns

I've never had to ship cornsnakes but I may be selling some of my cornsnakes here soon. Which is better for corns: snake bags or deli cups? Corns vary in size from 100g to 400g.

I would think a snake bag with just a paper towel in it, because a deli cup just seems like they could bounce around and hit plastic and get quite annoyed. This is just my opinion though and I've never dealt with shipping corns.

On the other hand I used to ship scorpions in deli cups lined with paper towels.

Baby corns are usually shipped in deli cups so they don't get squished during transit. I'm just not sure when you transition from deli cups to snake bags. I'm sure the three between 200g and 400g would be fine in a snake bag...but I'm concerned about the 100g corn.

I would def do the smaller stuff in delis. It provides more structural support against crushing, especially when there are other bags or delis in the same box.

Or may put the snake bag in a delicup that way the corn isn't being bounced around and just pad it with paper towels?

what do you mean by "smaller stuff". I think the larger ones will be fine...it's the 100g subadult that I'm not sure if I should put him in a cup or a bag.

We have shipped ball python juvies in both cups and bags. If it fits in a 6" deli, we often would use that. If it is multiple animals that can be packaged together, we bag them (ball python babies that is).
