    Shipping goofs

    I had a shipment of snakes coming in and i was so exicited to open the box and when i opened it up it was a box full of turtles. I bet the other person expecting turtles will have a big surprise when they open my box up and it's full of snakes.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    We are in the process of sorting things out and no i will not be keeping any of the turtles. The box includes 11 mud turtles and 2 nice chicken turtles all for a backyard breeding pond.

    Sounds like your snakes ended up in the hands of someone knowledgable about reptiles. Hopefully you two can just repack and ship to each other on the vendor's shipping account.

    Sounds like the results of about 10 minutes of herping and rustling up WC in Florida. Not that there's anything wrong with WC, I just don't approve of how it's being done down there in FL. It's awful for the animals and buyers alike.

    Knowledgeable doesn't mean too much in this situation. When you're prepared for snakes and get turtles, or visa-versa, well... let's just say it's going to be a real P.I.T.A. for the person who expects to recieve snakes and gets turtles. a PITA that is, if he cares to do what it takes to ensure the turtles get proper care. To do it right, one must prepare way in advance to receive aquatic turtles.

    If the person expecting turtles has a snake phobia, well that wouldn't be good either because they might have to just sit there in the shipping container the entire time and get shipped again.

    I sure hope this all works out in the end and that the animals arrive safe and well at their originally intended destinations.
