Just how risky is it?

Usumbara Nov 18, 2003 06:28 PM

How risky is it to 2 day a kingsnake without actually labeling it? They don't actually X-ray any of this stuff, do they?

Or is this frownded on here and I should just shut up now?

I've read a few posts about people receiving snakes, but they never mention the methods. (Some implied it was just normal shipping with a "LIVE" label on them)

regardless of the carrier you use, shipping anything less than overnight delivery is unsafe and irresponsible to the animal. please use overnight services.

and don't ship snakes us mail.

Oddly enough, I've had more (non-snake) animals die overnight than I have had them die 2 day.

In the end, though, I've decided to just skip attempting it.
