the packing method I used to send wayne was actually highly simple... but it worked well as I can see. I took a plastic chinese takeout container and I taped him with scotch tape to the bottom of it. I put some aspen in for padding just in case... and I put the lid on. I packed that in the box with newspaper... I really can't see a fairly flat snake breaking easily at all that way

i am taking all those things into consideration though... I'm a pretty realistic person I just dont want to be like ZOMG THIS 4 INCH SCULPTURE IS ONLY $586739395

hahaha
