sending baby scorps through post

[gibby]

if i was to send baby scorps through the post what is the right way to do it.

where do i get the wee tubs for posting?




thanks, gibby

maybe cricket tubs with tissue balls inside.

then put this inside another box with an insulation layer of paper strips

that's how my pandinus imperator arrived

For little emps, I used a film cartridge. Put holes in it, packed it tight with damp tissue paper so the emp can only just fit in, and then put that in a padded envelope. Worked perfectly, all arrived alive and healthy.

Where did you get the film pots from ash, been looking for them on Internet and can't find.

Don't want to send them in somthing to big.

Ash do you have to write live invert on it?

Go to the local film processing place they normally have spares for free. I always put "Live entomological specimens inside, handle with care" or "Live Biological material handle with care" on mine.

What Lucifus said: go to camera shops, boots and things.

And, ner, I didn't. You're not allowed to send them by post according to the post office, so I wouldn't write it on the outside if I was you

(though, if you want to be technical, it does say no live insects... and these are arachnids. )
