Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

No, this thread isn't about good or bad deals with shell shop, it's about their shipping practices of frogs!

Shell Shop
Well I just thought that if someone ships one animal correctly that you would think they would ship all correctly , or do they just submit frogs to this ? Tim Candler

Dry ice? Unless the animals are shipped in an airtight container, the CO2 released from the sublimation of the dry ice would kill them quick (and an airtight container isn't very good either!)
Plus, carbon dioxide freezes at -70 F. That's 100 degrees below freezing! A little chilly - good if you want your frozen mice to arrive solid, but I wouldn't use it with an animal you want to arrive alive!
Just sounds a little weird.

Actually, the surface temperature of dry ice is around -109. It's a toss-up which would kill the animals first- hypothermia or anoxia.

No such site. That domain isn't even registered to anyone. Perhaps you misspelled it?

Just to clarify for everyone, Banfield does refer to it's vet techs as nurses.
However, I'm curious as to what Banfield location we're talking about, since they list their location closest to Maumee as being a wellness clinic 125 miles away.

I did not read everything.
I could not read everything after I read frogs are shipped "lovingly" with dry ice.
I know nothing about amphibians.
Can someone tell me if this is common practice?
I work in a Lab. When we ship blood samples and serum that need to stay FROZEN....we ship with dry ice.
Someone tell me it is common practice or tell me the ad was just a joke.
Also I know some people who use dry ice to asfixiate (sp?) their feeder rodents. After all dry ice is carbon dioxide.
A box. with animals and dry ice. which would kill them? The cold or the CO2? Or would it even kill them?
If you cut your neck and decided to put a turniquette on it...which part would die? Your head or your body?
Just some questions from this uninformed person.

Is this Shell Shop a retail store or just an internet business? I live in Central FL and have never heard of them. There used to be an aweful tourist trap store in Kissimmee called "Pets and Shells" that sold seashells, hedgehogs, and low end herps kept in horrendous conditions. Are these two affiliated?
By the way, I worked as a vet tech in the early 90's for 3 years and I never considered myself a nurse.
Back when I was in high school I worked as a petroleum transfer technician at a local gas station.

Chris
I think that was a Petroleum Transfer Engineer, hon.
Can I be a Reptile Nurse, I dish out meds and probiotic daily, balance diets (dietary tech maybe?) clean cages (sanitation engineer?...naw)... or does that make me a domestic reptile goddess?
Wait..... I check poos, email with Vets and researchers daily...... Oh yeah, I'm a consultant!!
This is much more fun than my crummy Social Worker degree....
PS: Dry Ice.... are you serious......ewwwwwwwww, I am not touching that one!
