Excitment then sadness

I still can't get over this, it was on my mind a lot of the night at work. Just thinking about what I would do if that were to ever happen. I would for sure burry her or even maybe cremate her. Not only for peace of mind but also to be reminded of the things silly little mistakes can cause.

I had a specter male shipped to me earlier in the year with 2 human hand warmers, one on the bottom, one on the top, cooked the snake just like this one :(

How sad, it truly sucks to open a box to find a dead snake.

Its a suck suck situation. If anyone learns anything from this, this is how not to ship a snake. Never put a heat pack on the bottom. Tape it to a side wall. A snake in a small tight quarters box should never need 2 heat packs. If its that cold then you shouldnt be shipping.

Sorry to your spider, hopefully you find another.

sorry for your loss. it would have been a nice snake in any collection.
also as far as if a box needs a heat or cold pack, you always pack according to destination and never pack based on origin. too bad this happened. glad you got a refund. not sure if i would take them up on their discount offer.

That really sucks and I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. I can't imagine that, waiting to get it and then to find THAT. Thank you for posting about it as you have and for providing the details you did about how she was packed and the placement of the heat pack, etc. If nothing else, I know I learned something from that and will keep it in mind to never place a heat pack on the bottom when I ship. Your mojave is a smokin' hot little dude and I wish you all the best with him. Take care and again, thank you for sharing this in spite of the circumstances/emotions that I'm sure are involved.
