Not sure what they do to some of those boxes but my god....but luckily, he doesnt seem too scarred as he has been on a nonstop mission to check everything out with pitstops at the litter dam to perch on it for a few lol.
I worked at UPS for a couple years and how live animals can be shipped through UPS/Fedex has always blown my mind. Considering how I’ve seen packages handled, it’s amazing anything arrives alive.
Assuming it’s being shipped through overnight/2 day/air trailers, your animal will be loaded into anywhere between 1 & 3 trailers and be sent down just as many conveyor belts to be loaded into the next vehicle. Loading the animal from the trailer into the package car to be delivered to your house generally isn’t a problem. That loading is done fairly gently. The problems come when going from trailer to trailer. Those trailers are packed so fast at such a dense volume that loaders do anything to keep up and very rarely stop to check what they are truly loading. ESPECIALLY during this time of year which is peak season.
The worst part is “throw walls” where you build up a wall and then throw smaller packages over top to just be stacked on in no certain order or weight. The good news is that 1/2 day and air trailers typically don’t fill up completely or at the speed the others do so throw walls usually won’t come into play.
Hopefully things are different over at FedEx but if it’s anything like UPS, I can definitely see why these snakes are coming out stressed to the max.

Kind of how I imagined it lol. And I hate UPS. They are slow as slugs in my area. FedEx is so much better.

Been awhile since i posted pics of Louie. He shed a week or so ago and i caught him today relaxing on top of the warm hide and his shelf. Getting darker with each shed and his top is getting more and more yellow.
