I'm shuddering. Please post pics! I'm curious now to know what a snake bite feels like. The Ball pythons at petco I saw today were striking at anything that moved. I'm now tempted to try and take a hit from one of them :shock:

That is one mean Conda my Friend, real or not :shock:

The best way to describe a snake bite is having the sharp part of velcro poked against your skin, lol. Trust me, after you get tagged a couple of times the fear goes away.....I get bit now and forget to even look at the bite when I'm cleaning cages sometimes LOL.

id like to have a nippy snake...just for the challenge. a small one with small teeth preferably :)

oh ok. I guess i will(gulp) stick my hand in and get tagged and overcome my fear :)

Gorgeous snake! who's the seller? where you satisfied (beside shipping)?

LOL iceman - don't go hunting for that action heh it'll happen eventually. The speed more than anything will drop your jaw lol - there's not much biting pressure from the jaws at all.

Ken - she came from Xtreme Reptiles in Miami and I was pretty satisfied overall except the shipping could have been a lot better. The price was insane but they answered all the questions I had, told me when she last fed, let me request a femme etc. Really it was just the packaging I was disappointed with.

Anyone else get a snake through mail, and if so I am wondering how well it was packed. This lil girl was just in a bag in a nest of shredded newsprint withh a heat pack floating around in there. The box was styro lined but I would have expected her bag to be in a container with (or nested in a couple) a heat pack taped to the container.

I've received many reptiles through shipping and it really varies on the methods people use and how well they do it. I've had snakes that were shipped in horrible conditions (no heat pack in November) and snakes that were shipped in perfect condition.

i had a snake shipped in a styro-lined box, in a pillow case full of newspaper with two heatpacks. all the way from CA to VA in december, and he arrived fine.

If the heatpack was in or near the snake bag I'm sure she would have stayed warm the whole way. "Contents may settle during shipping" must've been how the heatpack wound up at the top of the box fill and the bag at the bottom. Were your heat packs in or attached to the snake container? Gah - I'm sure I am beating a dead horse here and venting my worries she might get sick - it's all good. Peas out.
