    New arrivals! or arrival i should say

    So today i was supposed to get a male pinstripe and one of his male normal brothers was thrown in on the deal. At first i thought (I don't need a male Normal..why bother) but of course after sharing this information with my girlfriend she insisted that she's would look after it and take care out it. So, i decided to include him in the deal as well. Today, i opened the box and the one of the snake bags was had poop in it. I thought hmmmm i guess one of them had to you know what. But when i felt the snake from the outside it didnt even more or respond to the touch. Well when i opened it up the snake deceased . I then went to the pinstripes bag, took him out, Thank Goodness he's alive, but he was extremely warm to the touch. Warmer than my snakes after i grab them out of their 90 degree heat spot. Thanks a lot Fed Ex!! I'm glad you had a great time out on your lunch break while one of my snakes was dying in your van from heat exhaustion!!

    Were the snakes shipped with heat packs? If so, this could be the reason. If not placed correctly. Have you gotten touch with the breeder? Took pictures as you were opening the box and snake bag? Free or not. The breeder should compinsate you in some way. Unless it can be proven it was the shipping companies fault.

    Sounds like someone used too many heat packs..

    Cause it is very unlikely that the snakes overheated in the van at this time of year.

    Why would you expect the breeder to compensate you for a free snake? The one he paid for is OK. I agree it sounds like there was probably too much heat in the box but still you cant expect them to give you something for a free snake that died. I would be afraid to buy from them again though.

    This sounds like a packing problem to me to be honest.

    Like Heather said, too many heat packs or incorrectly placed.
