Jeff,
Yes we do think alike. For me the reality is these are MY babies. I know I have to send them out into the world and sometimes bad stuff happens. I know for certain at least one of my 2006's has already perished. The poor thing escaped and was eventually found near death. My goal is to place them with people who care and to give them as good a chance as I can. That's why I'm always willing to answer as many questions a potential buyer has and give them info on how to properly set up an enclosure and care for a BRB. I too only ship Mon - Wed forthe exact reason you stated, sometimes the packages do get help up.
Over the last few years I've brought in many animals and still surprises me how others will ship. 've received boxes with no heat packs, others without styrofoam insulation, minimal marking on individual containers to where I had to basically figure out which was which. I've also had to tell breeders to not ship yet since IMO the weather was too cold. etc. etc.
All my babies are shipped individualy packaged in properly labeled, appropriate sized containers (deli cup or bag) with hot or cold packs as needed in an insulated new shipping box ( I have re-used a few, but only really nice larger ones). I also include complete history cards with each along with a care sheet and an original invoice for their records should they decide to keep them. I know I've kept all the info on every one I've received! Heck, I even created a naming convention so each baby can be associated with it's parents. ie SA-PO-01 (Amber), Mom is SAvannah, Dad is POrky and she was the one that got pulled and tagged first, duh, I saw the "eclipse" phase and snatched her up first.
Bottom line is I know I'm not the only one who really cares for their snakes. I'm really surprized there are those (and too darn many IMO) who seem to not care as much!
Each and every one of my customers that has had to wait for safe weather to ship has been totally patient. Yes it's clear they want their baby(s) but none was preasuring me in any way to ship before weather was safe. Even had a couple of "maybe ship next week" that fell through as forecasts changed. Was a pleasure to work with all of them!!!!!!
I did get a bit wordy huh, been hanging around Bob too long.
