Shipping a huge Frogspawn

[salt_for_brains]

This thing is really big with 60+ heads, about 10" wide and 12" long. Taking up a lot of real estate.
I have two fears:
1) it breaks (which can be fixed)
2) it punctures the bag

One fix might be to just put it in a styrofoam cooler, fill the cooler with water and tape it up. Any suggestions or experiences appreciated.

P.S. I advertised it locally but no one had room for it. My LFS offered me a $50 store credit for ito_O If lived in the city I could easily chop it up and get rid of it but i

Why you didn't post any pictures of it? You know you need to show it to sell it, right? lol. ;)

I will PM you my address and you can ship it to me to test your styrofoam box idea. I will let you know how it looks when I get it. :D

I would do that before I let my LFS have it for $50;)

50$ don't you love how they drive the cost down when their buying. The whole time their thinking "I can get 40$ a head for that piece!!"

 

[salt_for_brains]

Exactly! He would put at least a $400 dollar price tag on it or chop it up and sell two heads for $40 a pop. I mean I wasn't expecting a retail price but I wasn't expecting to get bent over and violated either:D

Was that B&B?

 

[salt_for_brains]

No they won't offer you anything for trade ins except on the first Wed. of the month. Then they give you half price of what they normally sell it for.
It was Prog. Mar.

[Nasoguy118]

[Big K]

[Fishnbutch]

[salt_for_brains]

Nasoguy is picking up the frogspawn. Thanks;)

 

[Aquarian]

I feel jaded :D

 

[salt_for_brains]

It was almost yours too:D

Seriously, it is such a relief not to attempt to ship this thing since Nasoguy lives about 30 miles away;)

The way we get used to get them was rubber banded to a piece of Styrofoam that was suspended in water. Large specimens are extremely difficult to ship and have them arrive alive. I would always cringe when they would substitute a large for small when I ordered out of Indo. If it was the least bit warm, above 80, you have a 50/50 chance of getting a coral milkshake.
