hey mike3;
just a few questions. how did your moroccans from mark come in? i'll be getting the benti from him by the end of the year and was wondering were they packed and insulated well? I live in the s. illinois area and am worried about the cold. the benti are a little more delicate to ship than other herps i've been told.
did they have heat packs? what carrier did he use and about how long were they in transit. I guess that's about it, thanks.

He was suppose to ship them this week, but since he is sick he didn't ship them to me yet. He said i should get them Thursday of next week. Yea, i live in Chicago and it was 11 degrees today. I am also worried about the temps. Dont heat packs only last for 8 hours? I will let you guys know when i get them, what conditions the uros are in when they come, and what he used to ship them. I was suppose to get them last week, then this week, but hopefully he will ship them next week.

0.1 Pit Bull/German Shephard/ Lab/ ect. mix (Kodak) - looks like an over grown toco bell dog.

thanks. i usually don't get animals shipped this time of the year, but i couldn't pass the benti up. hope everything goes well for you.

I received a beardie from Fire and Ice Dragons in PA on Tuesday this week during the nasty snow storms and my baby arrived nice and toasty. I live in CA so our weather is nice, but he had a long way to go. The heat pack was still warm for about three hours after he arrived! I was suprised that it lasted so long. Terri at Fire and Ice Dragons packs her animals really nicely too.
