hi ive done it... here its goes...
Im packing a couple of Chearlius Rectimus to be sent to overseas ard 5-7 days its expected to arrive at whereever its suppose to.. hehehe ... tropical scorpions, medium/small size..
these are the stuff you need :-
1) envelope with bubble wrap padding in the sides - usually you can get these at post office
2) Toliet papers or paper towels(clean and unuse
)
3) Bottles that can fit your scorpions and the paper towels that you are going to use as the protection walls.
4)some clear tape..
5) and of course scorpions! hehehe;P
a comparison of the scorp and the bottle.. err i think i sligjlt oversize the bottle because this package is gonna take a few days and i want to make sure it arrives safe so i make sure theres ample of extra air and space. for my to put more protection.
next, take some paper towels and push it to the bottem of the bottle. and moist it..
next us a bottle of something that has much smaller diameter , to push the paper towels in to make a hollow paper towel tunnel. i recommand at least 3-4 layers of paper towel.depending also the diameter of the bottle and the size of the scorp. so choosing the right bottle is important. if you chose a bottle to small the scorp gets restricted and u cannot make very thick paper towel walls to protect it. too big the container and small scorps, the chances of the "paper towel tunnel" to work is low..
"paper towel tunnel"
with the scorp inside
add some more slightly moist small paper towels in to cover the scorp. it also acts as something for the scorp to hang on to during the transport during rough rider... no one like rough rides for the scorp :wall:
now close up the tunnel by folding down the excess paper towels..
finally add some slight moist paper towels to fill up the gap(more protection for impact and loss of mositure. NEVER PUT ANY DRY PAPER TOWEL INTO THE BOTTLES YOU ARE GOING TO fully SEAL because it will absorb all the moisture from your scorp. so at least moist a little.
furthur enchance protection by wrapping them with layers of paper towels again...
now to the envelope. make sure the bubble wrap os ok. then stuff some paper towels at the end of the envelope so that there will be no empty areas for your bottles to move in the envelope. and to end it add some more paper towels... your package is ready....
use some extra clear tape to double seal the envelope, never trust the orginal sticky glue on the envelope!..
good luck with the shipping!
regards
