Good place to ask this - I haven't shipped my first snake myself and my memory if the snakes I've received in the mail is fuzzy. What kind of tape do you use to secure the heat pack on the lid? I am TERRIFIED that the tape will peel off and the pack will fall on the snake and roast it. Is it just regular packing tape? A few layers or a single strip? I think when I do ship I'll put the snake in a deli cup to cover against a busted box, fallen heat pack, etc.
I'm thinking that maybe mine have come with the heat tucked to one side wrapped in newspaper, snake on the other side? And crinkled newspaper is what holds everything in place. Sheesh, it's been awhile and I can't remember. Must be time for a new snake...
If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.
