Ordering my Caiman!
After working extensively with the saler(we literally send 5 - 10 messages a day to each other regarding weather, safety, etc.), Carolina Breeders, we've spotted a window of oppurtunity on Monday.
I've made my order and we'll continue eyeballing Monday night's temps to ensure things will still be good to go the closer the shipping date gets.
I've also asked him to have it held at our local office so it won't be in a vehicle with no climate control. Last time around, from Backwater Reptiles(sent me a DOA), it took 2 hours to arrive to my home after leaving the local office. I'd rather just pick it up myself, reduce any additional risk, and get it sooner as a bonus.
He's also assured me that they send them in a box marked 'Perishable' and write 'Live Harmless Reptile' on it, where as the previous one I dealt with just had a blank brown box with a shipping label, no notes, and that was it.
Here's to hoping I get a nice healthy baby! Will post as soon as it arrives Tuesday!
