Thank you!

What kind of box are these styrofoam boxes? The snakes could suffocate.

i would open a account and order everything from here (Home - Reptiles Express - Discounted Fedex Shipping Labels and Reptile Shipping Supplies) so you know your doing it right. and Fedex will not ship snakes if your not fedex certified.

If the box get lost or snake dies they will not cover it if your not certified.And UPS will not ship snakes at all.

its a cardboard box, with styofoam inulating it.

Okay. I know that the local pet store receives all of their Reptiles in a styrofoam cooler that the lid seals shut. They have to poke holes for the reptiles to breath.

Jenn_06 · 02-29-12, 10:12 AM

and the holes help with the heat pack too, all the snakes i got from breeders always has holes in the box.

Strutter769 · 02-29-12, 10:16 AM

I did poke a hole or two in the box. Fedex just picked up about 15 minutes ago. I also saw small openings in each corher, so I'm hoping that was enough. I didn't want too many holes, since it's gonna be cool tonight.

Now I'm nervous!

i can imagine!! that would be alot more stressfull i feel.

i got my hets few weeks ago and it was in the 30's and he put one hole in the box and had 3 heat packs.

You should be good, but i know ill be nervous too when i start to ship snakes.

When I ordered my Boa it came inside of a small Styrofoam box inside of a cardboard box with no holes. He was in a sock tied shut and he was more than fine when I got him.

if you put holes in the box it totally defeats the purpose of a heat pack it is pointless because snakes dont use much air so they will be fine for however long there in the box.
