Howto ship?
- Thread starter tfmreefs

Do some forum searches for "shipping" in the axolotl parts of the forum. There are previous discussions.
The best times of year to ship are spring and fall. At this time of year you'll need insulated boxes and frozen cold-packs.

I'll explain my method of shipping.
Materials needed:
-Plastic gallon freezer bags [not ziploc, the kind that comes with twisties]
-Rubber bands
-Newspaper
-A box
Fill up the bag with an amount of water you think is good for the axolotl and your wallet, since the shippers charge by weight. Put the axolotl in [obviously] and rubber band it. The rubber banding is the tricky part. You have to twist the end of the bag, fold it over, and wrap the rubber band around it until it won't anymore. This takes practice. For safety precautions it's always nice to double-bag it. Surround with newspaper in the box and tape it GOOD.
Hopefully I explained it well enough, if you have questions feel free to ask!
