SHIPPING a snake

    Airborne Express is a BAD idea.....they do not require signatures for deliveries, so your snake could be dropped off outside for god knows how long. I had this happen to me once.......not a good experience to say the least.

    Same happened here, David. That was my bad experience with them. :( But, at least I was out there every 10 minutes to see if it had arrived or not. :)

    Don't ship it! You're passing up a perfect opportunity for a road trip! Go collect memories!

    Actually, as far as most good deliveries go, airborne is the best. They even use heated trucks unlike UPS. Dunno what their policies are.

    The only bad experience I've had with A. E. was when about thirty Red eared slider turtles were being shipped to the rescue from Florida due to a border patrol arrest, anyhow someone in the "wharehouse" saw, live reptiles on the box and thought "oh they must be cold (had heat packs)" and put them out on the dock to warm up in the sun.
    Does anyone know what happend to 30 RES turles next? You guess it, so I never got said turtles.
    But other wise I think I've used delta dash and a few other, no problems thus far.

    Yikes, Rusty, that's terrible! Those poor turtles getting slowly baked. At least the individual who did it had good intentions rather than trying to be cruel deliberately, and probably won't do it again after the first experience.

    OH, man. That's terrible! If that happened, man I don't know what I'd do. (Suppose there isn't much I COULD have done, huh?).
