On July the 8th I made a trade with Ken from Exotic Pets in Las Vegas. I sent him 1.1 2002 pair of white-sided black rats, and I was to get 1.3 Taiwan Beauty Snakes. The white-sides showed up at his door at 8:48am and he was not there to get the snakes. At 1:02pm he signed for the snakes. at 8:14pm he sends me an email say Thanks for the effort but they are dead.
Heres a copy of his email
Well hell. The snakes arrived, both dead from the heat. A great shame, as they were both just what I was looking for. If you need verification of the deaths, I can either send you a photo, or I can freeze them and send them back to you in the mail, your choice. The temp here is about 115 degrees, an uninsulated box with plastic containers in it will just not cut it in this heat. I'm sorry. Thanks for the effort, Ken
Heres my reply
Thanks for my effort? The box showed up at your door at 8:48am and you was not at the address to claim the box. I have ship the same way for the summer for the last 10 years with no problems. The styrophome also holds heat in a box which is why I dont use it. How do you want to take care of this?
