i had some new arrivals yesterday and today ;D First of all a big thank you to Eric for these beauties, one is quite retracted but i'll see what hes like after hes warmed up, and the other is great, he was already out when i opened the package and hes sliming around happily ;D  and these are my new reti's i received yesterday, they are a little underweight as thye were in the post for 5 days!!  They seem active though and will move into the big tank tonight   |

I am sorry to hear that. I found the Ventris do not recover from travel that well. I lost a few within a few days after travelling again from Eric.

all i can suggest is try putting them by the radiator straight away because they could be cold it is what i do as soon as they arrive here

the only other thing i can suggest is me keeping a hold of them for around a month before sending off

You might have to hold them a little longer, I don't know. But from what I see mine is if they are the bigger one, they tend to be stronger. The smaller ones just do not stand a chance. They all have warm bath when they arrived, those that did not come out straight away died. But I might be wrong though.  I only have the bigger ones left now. |
