Yafe - Male Albino Carpet Python

Okay, full panic mode!

I just got an email from Fedex. Yafe is in Indianapolis and is delayed. Expected delivery is Wednesday morning now, not today!

I emailed the breeder to make sure he used 40 hour heat packs, but I am freaking out.

I'll call fed ex in the morning and see if I can drive somewhere to pick him up (if he's going to be in upstate NY or something).

Ugh, not a good scenario.

I'll keep everyone in the loop.

I actually got a person at Fedex on the phone!

They are going to try to get Yafe on the next plane out of Indy and to CT ASAP.

They have my number and the local Fedex facility (which is only open until 5PM) is advised to call me ASAP when he arrives, regardless of time, for me to go pick him up.

I call back at 10AM ET for an update.

Another potential option, although small, is for me to drive some distance and pick him up somewhere else if that would be sooner for fedex.

The agent believed that he would get to CT today, but not by 10:30AM when he was expected. Therefore the website updated to by 10:30AM Wednesday, to be more accurate. He said, if it's 1AM, I will be allowed to go pick him up.

Fingers crossed.

Nightmare mate,
well fingers crossed and all goes well and you get him soon, can't wait to see the pics

Another Update:

Apparently, I greased the wheels.

They won't guarantee anything, however, he is now expected at the airport near my house (across the street from fedex pickup location) around 10:30AM. They will not tell me what time he is expected for pickup, but it should be after 10:30AM, but not by too much.

They expect I can pick him up by noon, if he makes this next flight, as expected.

I am praying he's there by noon.

I will update upon arrival or if something changes.

Man, what a night/morning!

Teaches me to get up to use the bathroom at the same time fedex emails me! Missed out some quality sleep. If Yafe gets her safe and sound, I could care less.

Well hope all goes well and he's with you soon as possible mate

Same thing happened to Alex in the same place. The breeder and I both were calling Fedex lol. As long as the breeder put a heat pack in there, you should be good. Alex's heat pack was still warm when he got here on thursday after being shipped tuesday.

Good luck man and nice looking snake.

Update:

He's still in Indy. Fed Ex is calling me back ASAP.

Either he will be here this afternoon, or I am having them divert him to NYC or Boston, equidistant for me, and I'll pick him up today.

I told Fedex tomorrow is not an option.

I'll keep everyone in the loop.

Thank you all for the kind words.

Maybe good news?

I got a call from the fed ex agent from the hangar at Bradley Airport (the airport near my house here in CT).

The plane is set to arrive at 7:30PM tonight and it's too late for the retail locations. I have authorization to go to the airport and pick him up as soon as he arrives, whenever that is.

I am supposed to call at 6:30PM and confirm flight arrival time and then will get a call back once he's located. I will then be met at the hangar by the manager at the location and he will hand Yafe to me.

Sounds good, but I am holding my breath.

I'll keep everyone in the loop.

Hopefully, the next update will be tonight with Yafe safely here, home.

crossing my fingers, toes, and everything else i can for you guys!
