Funny Shipping Story

Kiss My Hearse
So I'm packing up some snakes this morning and one of them (who shall remain nameless to protect the guilty), bolts out of the shipping container as I'm trying to cram his wriggling body into it. Too many coils create terrific resistance when I'm attempting to make a snake fit into a perfectly good container. So I reach for his head, only to find that he dove into an empty squirt bottle that had the top off for some stupid reason. They aren't nearly as effective without it. But it made a perfect getaway spot for a squirelly snake. I tried to gently pull him back out, but he was most of the way in at that point and anything I tried was futile. I hoped to lure him out with a towel that had mouse smell on it, but he would only stick his tongue out of the opening to sniff. No real mouse there. Forget it. Back into the body of the bottle he went. Ok, I needed to get this box packed up. You want to stay in the bottle, then stay in the bottle. I carefully poked some air holes in it, stuffed in some paper towels for cushion and taped a folded paper towel over the top. It's really well sealed with tape, he's not getting out until his new owner peels it all away. He'll come out once the bottle is put in a nice quiet viv and he decides to rejoin the world. >rolls eyes<
 
:roflmao: Oh how I wish I was getting that shipment. I would love to open a box to find a snake in a bottle.
 
I was too frustrated and ready to kill him to get any pics. Maybe the new owner will snap a few. I already warned him what what coming. The snake's new name should be Geni.
 
Tell his new owner that his new name is "Time". That way they can have "time in a bottle"!

I'm sorry gang but it was there! I had to go for it!

That's cute! When I sent Uncle Ruby up to Hallie, it was REALLY cold. I wanted to use a BIG unfrozen gel pack as a heat sink, but I didn't want to squash him with it if it got loose, so I put him in a snake bag in a wine box!
 
He's going to Don Gallagher. Now that I think about, I should have taken pics. It was just too darned hilarious.

I could see being so frustrated to even think about taking pictures. Hopefully he will.
 
That's just too funny! And the name Genie would be AWESOME.

Thank you for the chuckle I had when I read your -hillariously written- story =D
 
Mine was not so funny but when I went to fed ex to pick up my girl the woman didn't read the box and started flipping it around in her hands. I scream "NOOOO ITSSS ALIVVVEEEEE" Haha. I'm sire everyone was looking at me like I was coo coo. Never apologized. Just started with the paper work. The other employee opened it for me though and was so curious about her. I've got so many compliments on her already.
