Big Rant

Thats a big concern for me. Also getting her to feed is going to be really hard to do I think. I am up for the challenge though. If she comes out healthy she is gunna be beautiful.

She didnt make it. I dunno maybe I was just seeing what I wanted to? I feel really bad for the little girl.

That is so terrible. Have you contacted the seller about this? I suggest you do it as soon as possible if not so the appropriate measures can be taken.

Yeah we are in the middle of working things out. It was the first thing I did.

Sucks to hear she passed. I'd ask for a new pet with free shipping.

Nat,

That's a really horrible thing to have happen sorry it didn't work out..

:( I'm so sorry to hear that she didn't make it. That's really rough.

I'm very sorry to read that the snake did not make it. :( I hope the breeder does right by you.

For your next shipment I'd suggest a few things....

1) refuse to allow a DHL shipping - they have a very poor reputation (ALWAYS ask any breeder what company they use)

2) if it's a problem with your driveway, then you'll either need to address this or figure out another way to pick up the snake

3) if the sorting facility for the shipper is near you, you can request the box be held there for you to pick it up....that needs to be part of the shipping instructions from the breeder, agreed to by the shipper and you need to find out exactly what time to be at the receiving facility to get the snake quickly

4) once you see on the website "out on the truck for delivery", grab a book and park yourself where you can see the roadway - I've done it a ton of times myself if I was concerned about a shipper or a new driver on my route

5) watch the weather at both ends and refuse to have a snake shipped to you if a storm is forecast or the weather is iffy, it's best for the snake if you wait and ship at a more stable time of year

When I have a snake coming in, even though I've never had a problem, I post a HUGE note on my front door for FedEx. It says....DO NOT LEAVE PACKAGE AT THE DOOR....RING THE BELL AND KNOCK VERY LOUDLY...THANK YOU

I'm paranoid and don't trust a doorbell (mine is currently not working actually).
