Out the door and off to their new homes...:)

make sure you add something in about holes in the box.
hey, you never know...
ck

If you look close you'll see two holes on each end of the box. Right where the red arrows point up.

thanks for the pictures

Absolutely. The boxes aren't air tight to start with and shouldn't be.

Snakes don't have the need for a large amount of airflow in the box for a standard overnight shipment. I've used the 2 piece molded shipping boxes without any ill effects during colder months. As long as they packed properly , punching holes in the boxes can be more of a detriment than a help.

The packing job is looking good! Whoever is getting that package is a lucky one!

Hey Larry
I have a great idea ,why dont you pack up a couple of Morphs and ship them to me and I will send you a inspection report and keep the snakes as a modest fee:D:D

Hah, Larry if I didn't know better I'd think you were someone I knew! You guys pack your animals nearly exactly alike.

Well in all fairness it's a pretty standard packing job..Hell yea

I like the paperwork - Good job my bluegrass brother -

Great job. Do you wrap christmas and birthday presents too?;)

Larry I am not sure it is right. send me a test package with a group of animals lol.....

I like the paperwork too. Laminated and in full color. very nice.

Yeah the paperwork is definately very professional.. What do you use to generate those invoices and all??

Alan

Excel and Kinkos

Thanks for the comments..

Love the laminated paperwork with the cage cards to, very professional touch!

Nice packaging job!

Nice job Larry. Thanks! :yourock:

okay now taht i see this thanks for sharing. now if ever you use heat packs where do you place those?

How it should be done.... slick!

A great example of how to pack.

You put the holes where I put em too.... :rockon:

Pay attention boys and girls of the BLBC! This is the correct way to ship animals!
Great info Larry! I am sure this will help a lot of people who have never shipped (some that have).
And kudos on the top-notch paperwork! This means a lot with the way this industry has turned. If it were me opening that box, not only would I be excited about getting the animals but seeing that paperwork would put my mind at ease knowing I was dealing with a professional.

That's some quality job, man!

OOooooo that's definitely nice! Looks exactly like how 8ball packages their snakes (but no cool 8ball pillowcase :lol:) I think they use that same exact box. Definitely top notch Larry and someone is getting a great package!

Nice post Larry...

Looks like Christmas is coming early for some lucky Herper! :)
