    Sorry about you loss, thats terrible. Thats why I'd rather not ship unless its completely necessary. Too much can happen, I know I would'nt want to be shipped in a box across the country.

    Also, I was trying to share this on facebook. Not "like" it, not sure how to unlike it.

    Man that sucks. Sorry you had to go through that. I never use 2 heat packs on a single small package. I always tape the heat pack on a side wall so the snake has a chance to get away from direct contact. Putting the pack on the bottom pretty much forces the animal to be on it. I also only use 40 hr packs cause they tend to have a slower heat build up. Dont know why i have a smile face on my post. I didnt put that there. Sorry

    I had a hatchling pewter shipped to me and it was also doa. First experience I've had with a dead snake and it wasn't a pleasant one.

    Really sorry to see that, its a horrible feeling when you open it and see that!

    Was the snake directly on top of the bottom heat pack or was there something inbetween the heat pack and the snake?That really sucks, also kind of a bonehead move if it was packed directly on top of the heat pack, those things can het really hot. Sorry about the snake. Refund or not, I'd be pretty pissed.

    Sooooo sorry to hear about that. I actually felt a little upset in my stomach seeing that picture and thinking about the poor thing trying to get away and survive.

    However that Mojave really is awesome.

    Your new mojave is gorgeous, I'm really sorry to hear about the spider. The only time I've ever have a snake shipped to me with two heat packs one was tape to the top and the other was actually outside the styrofoam.

    It really sucks. I got a refund and he's also giving me a really good deal on some others. I still feel sad though. Poor thing didn't stand a chance. Anyway, he was packed with just some crunched up paper between her and the heat pack. Two packs was just too much though. The heat was coming from up top and down on the bottom. No where to escape the heat. She was coming from a really cold place but it's warm here so it was just way too much. I still have her because I just dont know what to do with her. I feel strange just throwing her away so maybe ill bury her? I dunno.
    Sad.
