LOL! Good one!
The only time I ever had an issue with a delivery was a shipment of neonate pyros which were shipped from Texas just before a big winter storm was due the following day. I just happened to see the little box by my gate, no horn honking or knocking on door or any other heads up. If this had occurred the next day the poor creatures would have frozen to death.
To balance with a positive story, one time I was expecting a delivery ao neonate gopher snakes in December, but the weather suddenly turned and the driver could not manage our rough rural roads. So he took the babies home and cared for them for several days until he could travel our bad roads again.

Keeping cats allows man to cohabitate with tigers. Keeping reptiles allows man to cohabitate with dinosaurs.

I like your story of the driver taking care of the baby snakes for you. I wonder if he knew what he was getting into when he opened the package that presumably said something to the effect of "live animals."

Yes, he knew. We talked on the phone and I was able to give him instructions on care. Golden State Overnight was the company.

At least they make it to the door, lol. I had one dropped off at the corner of my home, when the driver heard my dogs.

Disclaimer: I do keep several snakes in pairs, and some in groups. However I realize that things can go wrong, and I have to keep a close eye on those groups, to be sure they are not being adversely affected by these living conditions. Also if one happens to eat it's cagemate, it is 100% my fault, and I know the risks in advance!
What's wrong with using CAUTION?!?!?!
King Snakes! Who can make a better mouse trap?
