Nightmares and breakdowns while waiting for your babies to ship

[Sgt7212]

You just have to trust that the breeder you are dealing with is an honest/stand up person. I've had plenty of snakes shipped to me and have shipped plenty out..so far no bad experiences! Matter of fact, I will be shipping out a pastel calico pinstripe to the winner of my contest on my FB page later today .

I trust the breeder. If i didn’t, i would not have purchased from them in the first place.

The intent with me starting this thread was more about sharing the (now) funny dream I had and other things we, as owners do while waiting for our new additions to arrive, like constantly refreshing tracking info, waiting by the window to pounce on the FedEx driver as he pulls up, pacing like a paranoid, nervous expectant parent, etc... It was about sharing out humorous experiences and really has nothing to do with business or shipping. I’m confused as to why it was moved from off topic cafe.

Maybe I just should have named the thread Crazy Snake Dreams or something like that. Idk

I don't have any funny stories really.. Ive only order 3 snakes. I do share some of your feelings. Im inpatient and no matter what I order dwell on Tracking info etc..until its here. Maybe Im a bit obsessive. Something I find kind of funny is that I now (after members have shared personal stories) realize snake owners have very similar characteristics hahahha. Not sure if thats a fluke or if it is what has brought us all to this common interest. I think its more than a coincidence honestly. When Im waiting on something like you now are I have to keep busy and find things to occupy myself otherwise i'll drive my own self crazy hahahahha. Speaking about all this and being a man of course I notice all the very attractive women on the forum. One of the things that give me the biggest laugh is imagining myself with one of them that have some of the same behaviors as me and how quickly we would drive each other absolutely Crazy

I can certainly relate to being so anxious and nervous about a pending shipment. I always schedule that day off work. Get up a the crack of dawn and watch out the window for the fedex truck. Oh the excitement when that truck pulls up. LOL I always say there is nothing quite as exciting and getting a snake shipment from the fedex man.

The few shipments that I have had sent to me all went off without a hitch - thankfully.

My very first shipping experience had some issues. I had the snake scheduled to be delivered to my work, and delivery was supposed to be by 10am. 10, 11, 12 come and go with still no snake. At 1pm I contact the seller. He makes several phones calls and finds out the snake was delayed getting to the local hub. He had then had the package redirected to my home for a 7-9pm delivery. I stayed up past my bedtime and my little guy finally showed up at 10pm.

I had a Leo show up one time that was basically comatose. Couldn't see it breathing and flipping it over the animal was just limp. The shipping either triggered her brumation or neuro issue. After about a week she would move like half an inch a day. 2 weeks after getting her finally we noticed her eyes were open and head semi erect. After a month she was moving around and eating on her own. The worst feeling is opening a box and thinking your new pet is already dead.

I think everyone is on edge the first couple of shipments..it's even more nerve racking when you are the shipper to me. You have their money etc and you have to wait to get the "he or she arrived ok" message. I've never had any crazy dreams so your's was an entertaining read

Yeah I normally don’t even remember my dreams but that one was not funny to wake up to. Funny now though. I have tracking numbers and I know I’m not going to sleep tonight. Last night I was waking up almost every hour and checking the clock. Today got to work around 9am. I just looked at the clock and thought I was stuck in a time warp. I was like “I’ve been at work for at least 7 hours... how the heck is it only 11:45am?”
