Alright Big Day, Big Day...

Ok its a big day for me. I have two snakes in transit right now. Two snakes from two different sellers. One is a 100% Albino female from Steve, and the other is a 850+g female from a seller on kingsnakes.com

I'm very nervous because the temp right now is 8 degrees outside :eek: I've never gotten a snake shipped to me before so thats not helping either. They both said they are putting heat packs in, so I'm hoping and praying that they'll both be ok.

I put this thread in the picture forum because.... I will take some photographs of each of them on arrival. Someobody please give me some reassuring words about the temp. Thanks!

WOOT! I got her, shes soooooooooooo tiny! I can't even believe it! Thanks so much Steve!

Can't wait to see the next one :)

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Very nice! Congrats!!

awww..cant wait to see the albino

awwwwwwww:).....wheres pics of the 2nd one?

Great! I love opening that box, it is so exciting!! When i got my snake, even though it probably wasn't too cold, there was a heating thing on the top of the styrafoam (mine was packaged VERY similar to yours, check out the PIED!! thread...there are pix of how it was done). You know the warmers that you put in your gloves or shoes when you are skiing or in really cold weather? that is what was put into her box to keep her warm.
enough about the packaging, beautiful snake!!!!

Chad, anyone that ships ball pythons in 8 degree weather is just plain nuts and has no regards for the well being of the ball python. :rainon:


But I do hope they arrive alive and wish you the best of luck. :)

It would be a good idea to have a vet. lined up that knows how to treat respiratory problems.:rainon:
