    Very cute cat BTW.
    Its a stress thing. The stress of the move sends them into a shed cycle.* You can pretty much bet on a BP shedding right out of the box. Hasnt failed me yet.
    [*disclaimer...this is a regurgitated statement.]

    As for the UPS drivers, a new guy delivered my last package and had the box upside down. The other guys know that a package to my house is usually a snake and they handle it appropriately and even wait around for me to open the box to see what cool color snake I received. Lol oh ma, the non-herper world is funny. People who arent part of the magical world of keeping herps need a nickname, like Muggles in Harry Potter.

    Actually I did that with my FedEx driver, and after about 5 times, I had a new driver. They told me they fired him; I wasn't the only one with complaints apparently.

    So it may not do anything, but it definitely doesn't hurt to complain.

    Oh, and what a gorgeous girl! Can't wait for some post-shed pics!

    P.S. Love the cat, too! I have a little tuxedo cat who likes to get into mischief just like yours!

    For now she's going with Toby (pastel), as he's my only breeding-size male... and since he took to mating with Mona so quickly, I figured I'd give him another girlfriend for the season. Next year I may pair her with my Mojave, since her lighter coloring would compliment him well.

    Thanks! I'll definitely post more pictures once she's settled & fully shed... and yes, Bindi (the cat) is very mischievous, but I love her anyway.

    I would complain if I were you. I work at fed ex and they watch out for stuff like people putting boxes upside down if there are arrows pointing up or people stepping on boxes. Plus you never know if other people have complained about that driver.

    But nice female, I like how in every picture she is looking at you like excuse me I'm busy exploring my new home leave me alone kind of thing.
