I have recieved ratsnakes by them as well. That does ot mean they are aware of it. They are pretty flexable though. The person I purchased my albino black rats was not very cooperative and decided it would be fun to ship them on a day i would be at work (why?) so I did the best I could. I left a note on my front door asking the carrier to please deliver them to an address where I knew a friend of mine would be home. I was expecting/fearing I would have to go pick up the box at their office. So then my friend calls me at work and says "what's in the box?" He said they were friendly and didn't even imply that he pay extra for their trouble. Just get Fedex verified. It is worth a weeks wait to know some guy in the ups office won't be opening your package with a box knife. Plus I hear they will check your packages for life if they find you did something like that.

I totally agree, 100%. I would be pretty mad if I purchased a snake and it didn't make it to me because of that.
