I would have to agree that John is a good guy to work with...great critters. My shipment was in warmer weather so I didn't learn any cold weather tricks.....think you need to say more.

John (and Kathy and Carol) are my extreme weather shipping gurus!!

I never even thought of the trick. In the small 7" X 7" styro box you tape the heat pack to the lid (as normal). INSTEAD of putting a wad of newspaper between the delicup/snake & the heat pack (to stop the delicup from getting pushed directly against the heat pack and the snake overheating), JOHN put a UNFROZEN/soft coldpack between the heat pack & the snake. The coldpack was in a plastic bag (guessing to make it fit better). It fits VERY well in the area between the cup & heat. Not only does it make it moreless impossible for the cup to come in contact with the heat pack BUT I'm thinking that the heat pack might gently warm the gel of the coldpack...helping the snake to stay warm without getting too hot.

I just thought it was a neat idea... our temps were in the 40's when I picked the box up,--- 30's at night--- and the snake arrived in great condition!

I sent snakes to Mesa two nights ago, when it was 30 or something horrible in Memphis. I used a large gel pack as a heat sink, and a 48 hour heat pack in a Gladware so it could breathe. The snakes were 60F when they arrived (perfect!) and at 1130 PM, the night after shipping, the heat pack was still 90-some degrees, so would have gone another night if there had been a delay.

I think people put the gel packs in ziplocks in case they leak.

I don't know if I can not buy that Amber Blood. And then theres the fire, but I think on that end I'm going to hold out for a fire stripe. Do the prices on this thread or the prices on your website represent the most recent and accurate pricing?

That Amber Blood is eye catching. What's he eating?

You where the only one I did it that way (yours was going to warmer temps, after I packed yours I thought that maybe a little piece of newspaper between the heat pack and gel pack would keep the plastic from smothering the heat pack and yes the ziplock was for possible leaking. I use gel packs summer and winter and in the winter I warm them to 82 overnight, I think the gel pack does absorb heat and release it slowly

Prices vary a bit everywhere but also concider that shipping is going to cost $40-50 dollars and that's why I offered Free shipping. The amber blood is an 09 and is about 20-24 inches I'm guessing and is eating peach fuzzies.
Thanks everyone
John

John sold me two baby corns which I received yesterday. Both are healthy and arrived safely.

My daughter and I are both happy with our snakes.

John was very helpful with any questions I had. I would recommend him to others that would want corns.

Is the Blizzard het Anery Blood still available? If so please pm me how to pay and arrange shipping.

Ghost Bloodred het stripe & amel is she still available?
