    How do YOU ship your animals?

    Hey all!

    I was just wondering what you all have had success with and not-so-good success with re: shipping & handling and packing supplies. What works for you? I'm always out to improve my shipping process...

    I always use an appropriate sized box with styrofoam in all sides. Tape the heat pack to one side (not top or bottom). Each snake goes in it's own bag. Pack fairly tightly with shredded or balled up newspaper. I've never lost an animal packing that way. I'm sure others will have more input.

    Thanks! I use one 20 hour heat pack and 1 40 hour heat pack. I'm in the process of tyring to get reptile certified by Fed Ex.
