A warning that may help some of you in the future. I ordered a trio of Wandering Garters. They were picked up from the breeder on 8/30/07 at 1:31 pm. Sent to me for next day delivery by DHL. I finally got them today...9/5/07. Five days late on a next day service. Needless to say the opening of this package was a horror. All three had died of apparent dehydration. Also needless to say, I will never purchase again if the shipment will be handled by DHL!

The vendor, Tricountyexiotics has been great. They are sending a replacemeent thru a different carrier service. The thing that has upset me so terribly was the lack of caring when I contacted the carrier and of coarse the needless death of the Garters.
