Shipping an adult male Idolo

[aNisip]

How should I go about shipping this guys? they like alot of room in whatever enclosure they are in and I'm sending him through express so he will only be in transit about 2days...what to do... :/

I've shipped adult Idolo in a foam lined 32oz deli's with stick glued to the top for grip, room equals alot of banging around, you don't want that. They worked out very nicely

 

[aNisip]

Ok, thanks Nick! However, I'm not sure I have the wide 32oz container and only the tall 32oz...

 

[angelofdeathzz]

That is the 32oz tall, express should be just one day? But they'll be safe.

 

[aNisip]

Ohh...well then, I will work on the enclosure asap...and should I even bother to put bb pupae in there with him?

Thanks a ton Nick!

No just feed him well before you ship, but a little mist won't hurt.

In bigger containers they tend to lose feet and legs from all the movement.

Mmk sounds good Nick! Thanks again!

Idolo King to the rescue! :tank:

I just made the 32oz cup with foam and sticks and when I put him in it as a test run he was struggling to move around, and got stuck a couple times...he was frantically trying to escape...

Where do you get that foam?

 

[aNisip]

I am using more of a platic-y foam, the one Nick is using, you could probably find at a craft store or something...
