I'm lucky - I know the FedEx drivers, and I can meet them at the dropoff point to intercept snakes before they go out on the trucks for delivery. I also know the driver that brings him up - and if I let him know to expect one, he holds it in the cab for me, to make sure it stays warm.
@ Yoda- You are correct. This critter was produced by Nick Mutton at Inland Reptile. My Coastal and Jungle came from Nick as well. He's a great guy to work with and I think he produces some stellar animals.
