Okay, so as most of you know, I bought a pastel (YAY!).
The breeder is in MD, (i live in CT) and he is shipping delta dash.

I told him I could pick it up and Saturday, and he said he didn't ship saturday. I asked why, out of pure curiosity, and he told me that there were skeleton crews and if he got on the wrong flight he would sit in atlanta till monday (atlanta??).
At the end of the note, He said that he doesn't compromise the saftey of his animals...
Okay, so im thinking "great! this is a real standup breeder" And I was happy with the explaination. (i really just didn't know) Then, the last line said..

I'll ship him to you UPS next week if you have concerns...

UPS????? Someone who doesn't except live animals?? Someone who wouldn't know to keep it warmer, or to keep it right-side up for that matter?

Is it normal for breeders to ship UPS?? Personally, I found the whole letter controdicting. But I have heard nothing but good things about these guys, so i was taken by complete suprise by it.
*shrug* maybe it is just me....?
