Special Delivery!
Look what arrived in the mail this morning... 
Just kidding, LOL. Here's what was in the box, before my kitty took it over - a big (1900g) normal gal named Nerissa, who was a birthday present to myself. Got her from Jeff Flanagan, and while she arrived with a dry nose (either going into shed or rubbed it during the trip), I'm very happy with her! Nice and plump, seems friendly, and should be ready to breed after quarantine. 
Didn't want to stress her out, so here are a few quick shots from the tub...

Re: Special Delivery!
Looking at the pictures now, I'm definitely thinking she's just going into shed... do you all agree? She was also roughly handled by the UPS guy (I saw him flipping the box around), so may have bumped her nose on the trip. Those UPS drivers are really starting to tick me off - first an incident with my corn snake, and now this. Tell me again, why do we bother putting "THIS SIDE UP, HANDLE WITH CARE" when they ignore it?

Re: Special Delivery!
Thanks! She's checking out every inch of her tub, and just had a nice long drink of water... hopefully the nose clears up once she sheds.

Re: Special Delivery!
Nice looking girl .It looks like she is at the tail end of clearing up to shed and once she does shed she should be ok.When she does shed just look at her nose and see if it has any damage.Yes UPS drivers are idiots that are unable to read

Re: Special Delivery!
Thank you! I am thinking of complaining to UPS, since this has happened more than once... and our neighborhood drivers are even bigger morons than usual.

Re: Special Delivery!
I think it is a trend with bps deciding to shed while being shipped, because the same happened with mine.
As far as the crappy shipping, when my BP was shipped from Atlanta to here is PA in DECEMBER, they did not include heat packs at all!
Very cute cat BTW.
