    Good Vibes Needed!!!

    I purchased a female pastel clown over the weekend and she was shipped out today. There was a bit of a mixup getting me the tracking number so I was talking to the seller pretty late tonight. One of the things she mentioned was that she shipped her without a heat pack. The box is currently in Memphis where it is 39F now with a night low of 36F! I'm calling FedEx now to see if there's anything they can do. Any good vibes you can share would be appreciated!

    who did u buy her from ? this person isn't the brightest of breeders to me .. should be a heat pack with the animal regardless .. n with the temps we have been having across the map this year shouldn't have been issue to put heat in there .. good luck bro

    Yeah, I wish you luck that your pastel/clown is okay but WHO in their right mind would gamble any animal much less that combo this time of year?

    Re: Good Vibes Needed!!!

    That was my fault. We are both in Florida, and the lows are in the 50s. I'm from Washington state and every time I had shipped or received a snake that was in also in Washington it didn't go through Memphis so I wasn't concerned about the temps there. I'm learning the hard way that's not the case now that I'm in Florida. I was still shocked that there wasn't a heat pack even before I discovered she was going through the central hub. At this point I don't know if the shipper knew she was going to go through Memphis or not.
