Exactly why I use polyester pillow fill instead of newspaper for packing. It provides a much softer landing if the box is dropped. Plus you can pack the snake into the middle of it much tighter and it's like being in the middle of a pillow.

my first spider that i ordered was from NY and when it got to my house, i saw the fedex guy tumbling it and twirling it like it was a damm basketball...wonder if thats what caused it to get the "stargazing".

Same here.
