Nope

And now I have started to become a nervous wreck LOL! The little guy should be in the air by now and on his way to my hands. Just like the last time I got an animal (which I believe was my female albino boa constrictor, its been a while) I don't suspect I will sleep too good tonight.

It seems strange to me shipping animals like that. It is talked about so much to keep them in a low stress environment, and then we put them a box and ship them all over the place. I know that I would be stressed if I had to fly!

A long time ago I did a trade and ended up with a 1.1 pair of okeetee corns, they came in DOA due to a shipping screw up, they where sent out 2nd day. They where roasted when they came in. Really sad, they where really nice animals.

Speaking of stress. I ended up with a young burm a few years ago, cant remember how I got him I think he was part of a trade deal, I had no real interest in him. He came in with mites and this was when I was just getting started in all this, but I got them taken care of, no problem. The animal was a bit, well, nuts at least from what I was used to. I could tell he did not like being handled and feeding time he was as most burmese pythons are.... hungry. I did not get bit though, but I knew I did not want this animal because I would hot have space for him. I found a buyer, and got him sent off. When the buyer got him, he opened the bag and was promptly bitten. Guess the burm did not like to fly much either.
