Do you re-use...?

Do you use the insulated boxes and snake bags that have been sent to you, in order to send out one of your snakes to someone else??

Nope.. I like to use a fresh box, just makes me feel better. I like knowing that its a clean non-contaminated box..Same thing with the bags..their so cheap there's no need to not use a new one..

I dont ship out a whole lot of snakes but I have reused a box before.

I will reuse a box if it is clean and there is no issue with the structural integrity. I will reuse bags too, but they get washed first. If a box it ripped, soiled, wrinkled or similar, I discard them.

I reuse, not because I am cheap, but because I hate to fill a landfill with perfectly usable items.

I've reused boxes, but ONLY ones that are in PRISTINE condition.

ALWAYS a new bag and warmer/s.

I will be ordering boxes and more supplies once I get babies, so after that it'll be all new stuff from then on out.

I was all my bags in a 1-10 bleach solution then wash with no bleach.

I re-use nice boxes. The corners are what I look at the most.



In todays world, wasting so much product is just crazy to me, so I try and recycle as much as I can.

I launder all the bags I have in, and usually only use them in terms of personal snake workings, but I have and will reuse both bags and boxes as long as they are cleaned out.

I do wash everything before I send things out.

And I don't see how you can reuse a heat pack.. I've never done that before.

You can't reuse a heat pack. Or should I say, it would be extremely expensive if you tried. ;) The heat packs contain iron powder which oxidizes in an exothermic reaction. To reuse it, you would have to smelt the iron oxide to remove the oxygen.
