biggworm Oct 26, 2005 12:27 PM

Well I just got my boa in the mail.He was ice cold I shot his body temp at 69'.His tounge is STICKING TOGEATHER.( What is that???) Hopefully when I warm him up he'll be O.K. The shipper asked for the temps in Cali.I told him ...high's 66' and lows 55'.He sent without a heat pack.HOPEFULLY HE'LL BE O.K.It's still too early to tell. Your comments are apreciated. Ash Lopez

I have had animals shipped to me that weren't even moving and I thought were dead come back without any problems! Not that I condone this type of treatment but things happen during shipping. I think your animal will be just fine! Take care!

I was informed recently by my UPS driver, that they do not allow snakes as shipments, they do however accept Geckos....LOL so I now present myself as a gecko breeder...Just curious how everyone ships, I have heard that Delta is the best, but you have to be certified to ship threw them.. Just curious..
