Ya, I think the Carefresh would probably clog the deli cup holes. I use apsen or pine shavings. The snakes breath just fine with it. Also remember that a neonate kingsnake, milk, ratsnake is not going to need that much oxegen. As long as the box can breath a little (not making it airtight with tape), enough air is going to get to the snakes in the deli cup.



I hope you don't mind but I would like to use your site for future reference for forum posters who sometimes ask about how to ship a snake. I will keep your link and I hope others will also. Good stuff.
