    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

bad way to package corns?

It wasn't a big shipper, just a small breeder. I wasn't trying to crucify her, just wanted to verify if it was a good idea or not to ship them togrther so that I would know to maybe ask that snakes be sent in separate cups next time. I was hoping that wouldn't be out of line.
 
Well at least yours was in deli cups. I ordered four baby boas from a VERY well known big boa breeder. He shipped two babies in deli cups and two just thrown in the box. I opened the box to find two pissed off baby boas striking at me...boy was I surprised. I will NEVER buy from him again. Pack it right or don't ship it!
 
oh, WOW! That would have been a major surprise! I had a couple snakes shipped to me in the same bag before. I didn't think much of it since they were snakes I had been told could live in cages toether.
 
I got your story beat.

I've actually seen venemous loose in a box from an international shipment. Seems like when I first got interested in reptiles (don't wanna give my age away) there was a lot more "winging it" with shipping going on than there is now.
