Shipping many snakes, lizards, turtles and amphibians have gone quite well, however about 1 in 100 reptiles shipped out did not survive while about 1 in 10 reptiles shipped to us have not survived. Today I talk about exactly what went wrong with the handful that didn't make it, what could have been fixed to save the animal and just how safe shipping live animals really is.

    Hey Alex! I hope it's okay to get straight up to the point here. I am hoping to find someone who might be up to tackle a rather concerning topic on their channel about a gecko owner who treats her pets very badly. She's a popular influencer who "takes care" of her geckos under very poor conditions and any advice or remarks given to her get instantly deleted and ignored. Sadly, there aren't many people who are aware of this at all and we're trying to reach out to someone with a bigger audience now in hopes to get more attention on this. If you're interested to know more about this topic and want to help, please let me know and I'll direct you to someone who is a very nice gecko owner herself and has much more information and evidence on this case. She cares so much about this and I think you can agree as a gecko owner yourself that it's quite disheartening whenever you see a creature being mishandled for attention like this. I am not giving out any names yet, in case you don't like the idea or feel uncomfortable about calling someone out about this issue. It's understandable since it is a difficult topic afterall and I know it might be a bit daring to seek for help from someone just like that, but you seem like a nice person yourself who might understand why people are so concerned about it and try to get more awareness on this, so I thought asking might not hurt. I hope you're having a nice start into your week and please let me know how you feel about this.

    Is there a reason you put the heatpack on top? (Heat rises so I always secure them to the bottom.) I'm in Canada, so we put heatpacks between the styrofoam & cardboard box, the heatpacks between boxes prevent the ones in the box from dying. (I haven't shipped as many animals, but I've had zero deaths so far.) Also: You can have FedEx require a signature and they won't leave the package unattended.

    I'm sorry but this is why I unsubbed from you and many other reptile channels. It's sickening that you parade around with all these "unboxing" when we're dealing with live animals. There's no dignity in it. These are real animals, the feel pain and fear and the reality is we don't know what they're experiencing when they're travelling this way. They're not your toys or your play things (or your views, but clearly they are to you), these are real breathing animals that deserve respect and care. You can't account for what a delivery driver does or doesn't do, for how that package is handled, so why are you taking the risk at all? It just feels like this is another gimmick for you to receive views while pretending to be a good person when there's nothing good nor fair shipping animals out like this.

    @Loekert ok I see how that read. Let me clarify... 1. I wish you folks who are not committed STOP buying reptiles only to mistreat them and or release them. 2. The way the delays are with logistic shipping, why don't breeders stop shipping till temps hit 65 degrees and just sell local and at events? There. Nothing I said I was illogical.

    Have you thought about making a video talking about popular breeders online and where there are reliably good, ethical, safe, and captive bred or adopted reptiles to purchase or adopt? It’s hard to find an information on a lot of the bigger sites that sell reptiles, like back water or underground.

    I have always despised the very thought of shipping live animals. People are often just too careless for me to trust shipping animals. I worked in a pet shop in the live stock section ( Literally anything that is alive) when I was a teen. Most animals that are stocked in pet shops are not bred locally, typically. They have huge breeding facilities that stock pet shops. Hamsters, budgies, rabbits etc. Fish are often shipped in from Asia. There's so many times there would be dead animals from shipping, crappy couriers, accidents at the airports. More would die soon after arrival during quarantine, just due to the stress. Crappy couriers and airport accidents had the highest body counts.

    You seem to be such a tender-hearted young man. Don't beat yourself up about the occasional accident. We've raised mini goats for well over a decade, and often bought kids from a man who had raised goats for 30 years. Once we went to pick up a new young, well-bred doeling. The man called us, apologetic, just before we left. The little goat was dead. He'd seen her that morning, out running around. Then he saw her at lunch time, again, out running around. By mid-afternoon she was dead, with no apparent symptoms or trauma. It could have been she had some type of asymptomatic pneumonia; the cause was never determined. Of course on the farm we've had many animal die; three that stand out were 1) my daughter's donkey from a rare neurological condition and 2) a female goat developed a chemical imbalance that the vet simply couldn't explain or correct and 3) a foster puppy that turned out to have an inoperable intestinal abnormality. Again, these were animals from species that have been studied a good deal, yet even so issues can go undetected. Again, consider how many "healthy" humans, even young people, die of sudden aneurysms or cardiac events. Certainly in such small animals such as lizards there may be an underlying, asymptomatic condition, imbalance, or weakness that only appears when the animal is shipped, OR as you say, an event (a radical temperature change, being dropped, or even exposure to some type of chemical vapor) that could undermine the animal's health. You do a good work in helping these reptiles find new homes, and shipping is just a necessary evil.

    I'm sorry but this is the first time I've heard that people just ship them by FedEx????? Granted, I am a first time owner (In the UK) so I'm probably just inexperienced, but the site I bought my Milk Snake from had a Reptile Courier who they hired every few weeks for a 'run' to deliver their animals... I just assumed that was the norm??? (Edit, forgot to mention) - I was given a specific time to collect him, plus they had my contact information in case I didn't answer the door or there were any issues

    I used to work for PetSmart and surprisingly the places we got reptiles from did a pretty good job with shipping. We got lots of animals in a single box but they were all in individual, secured and labeled deli cups. Lids on cups were usually taped and rubber banded down, I never saw an escaped animal. Boxes were lined with Styrofoam and usually had a bit of paper padding (there were so many cups though that there wasn't a ton of room for that.) Boxes were also shipped with terrifyingly well secured heat or cool packs. Not advocating you buy animals from big stores but I was always pretty surprised at how well they shipped.

    I just want to say thank you for doing this because so many people online especially breeders and stuff like who have their USmuchs channels and they're all look at what I'm making. want you to buy their creatures and this really made me second think the safety precautions. taken when shipping creatures and I would like to be getting an animal from a trusted Source .There's so many things that lots of people don't think about when you go to ship an animal and your video doesn't just show us The Good it shows us there are things to know and ways to mess up and you telling us the bad and some of the ugly on like malnutrition and the bad well the deaths right well that makes it so much easier for people like first-time shippers to be able to be like is it really the safest thing or should I just drive there and go get or drop off the pet

    In the UK the only animals that you can send through the post are invertebrates and aquatic creatures. Anything else - reptiles, poultry, etc - can only be delivered by a licensed animal courier. And yes, it is expensive. Which prevents people from just grabbing themselves a fun new pet online like you'd pick up a video game. The UK has a lot of problems as a country but I'm very thankful that we got this one thing right at least.

    It actually makes me trust more in the shipping how openly you talk about those who sadly didn't survive. Is this strange? 🤔😊

    I've five animals shipped to me so far (not from you). 1. Ball python, ordered from XYZReptiles, arrived perfectly. 2. Emperor scorpion, ordered from Paladin Exotics, arrived perfectly. 3. Feeder dubia roaches, 50, from AB Dragons, arrived perfectly. 4. Curly-hair tarantula, ordered from Paladin Exotics, arrived dead due to weather and uncontrollable FedEx delay. 5. Curly-hair tarantula, replacement, sent by Paladin Exotics, arrived perfectly. The python and two tarantulas all had heat packs that were at least partially warm when they arrived.

    You know Snake Discovery had an animal shipped to them and caught the Fed Ex guy shaking the box and spinning it around in his hands even when the box said LIVE ANIMAL on it. Maybe that could have been what killed the reptiles you shipped?

    As a ups preloader, sometimes box labels get overlooked and boxes get thrown around and slid around a bit. Especially during peak season. Idk if fed ex is the same but stuff happens and many of the workers are seasonal and work very early in the morning.

    Imagine asking people to send you $100 so you can receive their animals and sell it for 3x the retail price. Whack.

    We had a fedex guy toss a baby leopard gecko box into the air with a twirl one time, I will never forget that day because of just how ridiculous it was. He realized what he did wrong immediately after he had done it but it was already too late...thankfully she was still alive and seemingly healthy, but I can't say for certain that her "weirdness" wasn't the result of being tossed in the air like a pre-game basketball...

    i work at fedex and to be honest its terrible. When i see a box that even says live animal i try my best to put it in a secure spot. But sometimes, i would confirm with a manager and they would even say just throw it in.

    I honestly see you as a super trustworthy person to ship out animals despite the 5 deaths. Even in your own mistake you owned up to it, shitty large company owners will never do that. Seeing this though did make me realize the dangers due to how the workers at certain companies treat boxes. So glad i got my BTS in safe through usps.

    I try to avoid having animals shipped to places. Not that I don't trust the seller, I don't trust the people who do the shipping and handling. I've seen FedEx and UPS mishandle packages that say live animals.

    You are also saying at the beginning that these animals are for rehabilitation when you get them You really shouldn’t ship or suggest shipping sick animals period that’s just common sense

    the animals rehabbed are either shipped without us knowing of illness, locally received, or animals I drive to get

    As someone who worked in a shipping and mailing facility, I can tell you that shipping animals is NOT safe. Package handlers typically have have little to zero regard for the contents of the boxes they move and are just concerned with getting them on and off the truck as quick as possible.

    I love how you tackle the unsavory topics of reptile husbandry as well as the fun ones. I'm proud of you, Alex.. :) I personally have had 3 reptiles shipped to me, 2 in one box and 1 in another, and all three were perfect on arrival. It makes me sad how many people don't care about their pets and follow up on their well being with their new homes.

    I've had multiple animals shipped to me and had 2 DOA's over the years. One was a praying mantis who was packaged horribly- the box was way too big with no paper insulation and I could tell the poor thing was bouncing all around the box in his deli cup. The second was a leech who was properly packaged so I'm not sure why he was DOA. But overall I've been impressed with the packaging companies use to assure their animals are shipped safely, and have received many healthy happy reptiles, inverts, and aquatics by mail.

    I had a columbian rainbow boa mailed to me, a young male- doorbell rang, the FUCKING DELIVERY GUY WAS STANDING THERE SPINNING THE BOX IN ALL WAYS. Needless to say I screamed at him "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THERE'S AN ANIMAL IN THERE!!!!" He tried to say he didn't know and I pointed at, you know- the stickers on it saying live animal, this side up and such. It was ages ago so I don't think it had to have a specific reptile label then. Or maybe it was supposed and the breeder didn't do that- but it did say animal, handle with care and such. I've never came so close to decking someone's bridge of the nose who hadn't hit me first. I told the breeder what happened, and the poor boy was dead inside of a week. He had seemed fine until he wasn't alive anymore. If I hadn't have seen that I would have thought the breeder did something wrong on his end.

    I mean sometimes animals just die. Heart attack, aneurysm, stroke, congenital issues you can’t see, sometimes stuff just happens. Happens to humans too.
