This last week We made our first purchase requiring shipping.

The connecting flight from Memphis was late at the FedEx terminal, "Delivery Exemption" shows up on the tracking.

Yikes, it's Friday, the truck has already left and there is 2 critters in a box sitting in a warehouse, heat pack clock ticking away.

Thankfully FedEx dispatched a small van to bring the box, so they finally arrived 5 hours late, and the heat pack was still going strong.

Inside was a deli cup and a cloth bag, Hmmm..

First the "pillow case" the Asian Green snake was anxious to stretch out, Immediately wrapped around my arm in a coil and felt a tad cold. So I let him stay on my arm and warm up.

Once the snake warmed up, he discovered the overhead rope lights and thought they were a vine

So then I open up the deli cup an "Chomper" seems healthy and strong, yet tired out from the long ride. Put him in his new home, and he was eating like mad the next day.

Both are eating and drinking now, and both appear to be vibrant and content animals.

Peace,
Wayne A. Harvey
