Well my VE-2 came in today. And when ups brought it I was excited. But boy does reptile basics ship in some tough boxes. By the time I got it out, I was sweating like a pig and the excitement turned into work. But they do pack it to make sure nothing happens to it during transit. Not only a tough thick box but full of styrofoam padding too. And not the cheap styrofoam either. It's like high dollar heavy duty styrofoam. So overall this was well worth the wait.
