Horrible Day.

I'm sad to hear about the ones that didn't make but I'm glad to hear the breeder did the right thing. Best of luck with the girl who made it.

That's terrible! I'm sorry that happend.

I would be on the phone with FedEx's corporate office immediatly and i'd give them more than hell!
It's not like they've never shipped live animals! Heck they even advertise that they do! Obviously FedEx is to blame for making the delivery a day late and not taking care of the temperature the snaked needed.

I have had a few bad run-ins with FedEx and always, always, always use UPS now.

Very sorry to hear about what happend :( I hope the ones that make it have a quick recovery!

I'm so sorry that happened!! :( But I am glad that one made it, and hopefully she will fully recover from it. Definitely keep us posted on her progress.

Allysen,

Very sad day, but two good things, one lived and the breeder deserves a :gj: for his immediate 110% response!

So sorry you had to go through this but thankful that the breeder is a good person. I would freak if that happened to me :( I have had packages delivered late to me from fed ex lately. Last one was an hour late. They are slacking..

Thanks everybody for your kind words, it's really cheered me up.

We got Lucky home and I finally got to see her. She's absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Her head is just one big blush, and her sides are absolutely yellow. She seems very alert and active, and she allowed me to hold her for a few minutes while Joey was setting up her hospital tub. We gave her the entire guest room because it's so low traffic, and set up a space heater to bump the ambient temperature. She has an elevated basking spot as well. I really hope she pulls through, the vet said that it seems very hopeful, she's strong, and as long as she doesn't develop any major infections, she should be alright.

I'll post some pictures of her later, I snapped a few quick ones before putting her in her quiet warm tub and leaving her alone. I'm so thankful she survived so far, and the breeder is just wonderful. The other snakes that he had shipped also got delayed, but they are all alright, thankfully. He even told us that he might still have a possible het pied male available, and if he does, he'll ship him to us without charge.

Sorry to hear about your snakes. I worry so much while waiting on live animals!!:(
