I just received a 05 anery via popular over night shipping company. Boy is she mad! On arrival I spot checked her temperature at 63 degrees.. She was cold to touch and very stiff. After about 5 minutes of warming she decided she would do her best Darth Vader impersonation and strike at anything that moved. I have her cage covered and not bothering her. Now it’s been several hours and she is still EXTREAMLY upset. I can hear her hiss if I even open the door to the room that her cage is in. Temperature is normal now. I’m thinking she will settle down in a few days but I was just curious about other experiences with shipping snakes and how it affects temperament and how long it takes them to acclimate to there new surroundings and also how the 63 degrees temp will affect her health.

Thanks

Christian
