THe odds.

I was suppose to get a snake at 10:30 dhl. It won't be arriving untill one day late due to error whatever that means. i did not chose dhl that was the breeder. Anyway what are the odds of a live snake. Fedex always gets me my snakes on time so I never had this.

I'd say good odds.Although it depends on heat and
the way it was packed somewhat.

The odds are great as long as temps are not severe. My policy is only shipping out on Mon - Wed, some packages do get delayed for various reasons. That way even if delayed a day, they will still be delivered on a weekday with full weekday staff.

I'd say 99.9% chance. I accidentally shipped an Albino Boa Ground once to Texas in the heat of the summer about six years ago. I printed the label and my wife dropped it off. Neither of us noticed the mistake until the recipient called to tell me I was an idiot for shipping his Albino Boa Ground. I agreed with him!.I think it was over a weekend too, if I remember right. He was fine and has fathered many babies since for Clay English.

Good luck but I don't think you'll need it.

I have to say i'm a little scared I lost some monitors and ball pythons die in shipping but it was ground as well. Never had a problem untill this shipment... I hope she will have many coral sunglow arabesques for me next year....

My anery was shipped to me in Texas from Florida and was a day late. We had a cold snap the second night and I was so worried. She was fine though when she got to me. So don't worry.
