worried

[drache]

man this shipping thing always freaks me out
I'm doing a trade with Tori and I shipped the snakes out yesterday, but I haven't heard from her since we agreed to do this on Friday
so now I'm worried
should I have checked with her again before shipping?
I'm having doomsday visions of those poor snakes perishing on the UPS truck
oh Tori - are you around?
and I also know I'm overreacting
maybe she got home late from work
and of course nobody's up at this time here and where she is, it's even earlier
I just hope she didn't have some emergency or something
please keep fingers crossed

Fingers, toes and boobies crossed from here Rhea! :p

I'm sure all is well... hang tight...

Rhea, you know the snakes will be ok for a few days, so even if Tori won't have received them when expected, the chances are good for them. It's still early where you are, isn't it? So they probably won't have been delivered yet and she might have just not had a chance to contact you.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you though, that all goes smoothly. :)

[drache]

whew!
just as I thought, Tori had an emergency, but she's around, so everything is fine
I just get way too anxious way too easily
I know I need to meditate more . . .

Glad to hear all's well. Shipping always freaks me out too!:eek:

Really worries me too, Rhea. Especially after the botched delivery I recieved last August.

[Tori]

Rhea, you can stop worrying. They arrived safe and sound. The heat pack was still cranking out plenty of heat and they are in their new cages after spending a while looking things over, have settled in just fine. And not one dent in the box! Honest, they are doing great.

Tori

By the way, they are beautiful! The adult was larger than I expected, but the cage I have her in for now is 24 x 26 and ought to do fine for now. Thanks so much!

[drache]

hurrah - shipping survived
I do go through this with shipping all the time
I'm already worried about Tori's snake getting here safely (in transit as we speak)

the cage will be fine for her
she was in a slightly larger tank with two others of similar size

I'm so glad you like them

[drache]

I knew it
of course I'm going through it again
just checked the UPS tracking
out for delivery since 8:29am - what's taking them so long???

[adamanteus]

Rhea... chill!:D You'll worry yourself into an early grave! It's beyond your control anyway... so, relax!:)

[drache]

I am totally chill now
the baby got here and she's beautiful
photos on Friday

[Josh]

good news!!!

[adamanteus]

There you go, Rhea, all that worry for nothing! Good news she arrived safely!:)

[Lori P]

Can't wait to see her, Rhea!! :-)

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

What did you guys trade?

[MoJo]

I'm like you Rhea - I worry all the time they are in transport!

Congrats on your new baby, can't wait to see photos

[drache]

I sent her two of my concinnus and she sent me one of her infernalis - a fantastic snake
I had no idea, this is what they look like, because I've never seen a photo that looked real in any way
I hope I can take some pics that do her justice
she's got a lot of spunk too - bit me already
I've already got a garter named Spunky, so I'm naming this one Mesa, for the colours

[Tori]

I warned her in advance that the babies were biters! Honest! LMAO. That's a good name for her, I'm sure she will live up to it. Just keep in mind her mother outgrew the attitude thing, so there is hope!

Tori

[drache]

Friday is when I get time for pics
