two things:
ONE: my mother works for UPS, and there are THREE next day delivery methods:
early AM: by 8:30 am
AM: by 10:30
afternoon: by either 3 or 3:30, i think 3:30.

Tim saying the only option for UPS was delivery by noon is BULL.

on a sidenote, i must add that i have NEVER had a package damaged or even delivered late. (nor have i ever had the people at UPS open my package and inject my snake with fluids. maybe that's a new trend i haven't heard about yet..)

SECOND: though i do not personally own any emeralds, i have cared for two; one in my high school reptile program, and one at work. the first one didn't eat for 6-8 months after she arrived, and she got a respitory infection and some sort of mouth infection that made her tooth hang out the side of her mouth.
she does occasionally eat now, but even during the period of 6-8 months when she didn't eat, she NEVER looked even CLOSE to that bad.


i am not anything even close to an authority on emeralds, but from even basic experience i can tell you this: I CAN THROW A PACKAGE WITH A SNAKE IN IT AS MUCH AS I WANT AND IT WOULDN'T GET INJECTION MARKS.
