    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 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.
