Hello,

I posted below with the confusion on humidity levels during an URI.

Now I'm curious as to how do you pack a ball python for shipping keeping in mind the outside temps will be between 20 - 30 degrees.

I received two snakes in one of the boxes you can get from LLLreptile (white with red lettering and styrofoam inserts on all sides. The two snakes were in seperate bags, with crumpled newspaper and two handwarmers. My vet said this was not acceptable and they should have had more warmers and been put in a secondary container on the inside of the box with handwarmers in direct contact with the containers. When I opened the box the handwarmers were not in contact with the snakes, but I don't know if this is from shifting during shipping. Snakes arrived ice cold, both have survived so far, one has an URI and the one that I originally wanted and paid for appears to be the wrong gender (will be having it probed on Thursday). I've owned ball pythons for a few years, but am new to breeding/shipping/etc. and any advice is appreciated. I don't want to demand a refund if the seller packed his animals correctly, but it he was negligent at all, or he sexed them wrong I will be contacting him to see if we can resolve this.
Anyone see anything wrong with the packing that I mentioned above?
Thank in advance,
Nicole
