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.

Not your fault.

Any responsible breeder knows that they need to check the temperature in 3 locations before shipping (origin, central hub, destination) , which is why you should know the different central hubs.

This help knowing where the package goes (of course there are more central hubs.)

I need a bigger thanks button for that post. Knowing how to read that part of the label is priceless information to me.

I think Ill be adding a list of shipping questions to ask when I'm talking with sellers from now on. I guess I had had too many good shippers and I got a little complacent. On top of no heat, there also wasn't a required signature so the Fedex guy just left her tucked behind a plant on the corner of the porch and was already walking away when I opened the door.

Good news though, she's warning up nicely and is starting to move around a bit. I'm keeping a very close eye on her though.

There are only those two hubs?

No that's why I wrote that there were more central hubs

Fort Worth is another one, I believe there is a total of 6.

Memphis being what they call a SuperHub.

In my experience most of my packages went through Memphis, after that it's Indianapolis and a few times my packages went through Fort Worth.

It's been a long day and I just fixated on the pic, my fault. I'll have to lookup the other ones tmrw and see what their codes are. Interesting info for sure

I'm thrilled to know your girl made it to you ok. I learned the hard way this winter that even with perfect packing and great planning, hub conditions can make or break the final outcome. Please post some pictures when she's thawed out and settled in!
