    FedEx finally made it

    So I finally got two boxes from the fedex guy today and was eager to tear into them. When I opened the box of the pied female yearling, I noticed that there was no heat pack included in the package. I pulled her out and she was pretty chilled and not moving much; although, there was a flicker or two from her tongue. I shot her with a temp gun and she was around 66 degrees. I immediately dropped her into her tub to help her raise her body temp. Any advice here if I should do something else? Assuming that this is normal behavior after a cold transit, but no heat pack worried me.

    My other box from Justin was packed correctly; although the bee and pastel pied were both pretty cold too, so I dropped them into their tubs and when they get warmed up and a little more comfortable I will take some better pics, but for now, I will share these pitiful excuses for pictures that do not do these new additions justice!

    Difficult to be photogenic when you are freezing, but I will update pics later on this afternoon.

    Thanks! Excited to get them; although, I fear that this is just the tip of the iceberg and my pockets will be hurting over the next year haha

    Thanks! Yeah I almost didn't post the pics, but figured once they get a little warmed up they would be a little more willing to work with me for some better pics. I just peeked my head in to check on them and all of them were full on exploring their new tubs, so as soon as I find a break between conference calls (work from home), I will get some better ones.

    Yeah, I could only imagine with those. Once I get the whole thing down I definitely want to get a morph. They are awesome

    Great looking new pick ups! Sorry to hear they caught the chill, did you call the sellers? In any case, glad they are warming up and getting active. Cant wait for the next set of pics

    Nice animals, I'm a little jealous. I would drop the seller a noteabout the temperature issues, just so they can know for future reference.
    Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

    Yayy I'm glad your little beauties came today! I'm sorry they came chilled though! 66 degrees! Omg my heart sank when I read that! Definitely give them breeder a heads up on what happened! No one wants to get a frozen or cooked snake, poor things. Hopefully it was just an accident that he forgot the heat pack but still, lives on the line!
