We understand the importance of frozen foods arriving frozen so we use insulated boxes , insulating paper wrapping, dry ice\* \(colder than \-78\.5ºc\!\*\) and a speedy reliable courier to ensure that your frozen snake foods arrive frozen and in great condition\.
By the time you receive the goods the dry ice will have dissipated to the point where there will just be packaging in the box\. To be disposed of as per the instruction on the packet\. You should be aware that dry ice has been used but as we send in non\-airtight boxes your exposure risk to the dry ice is incredibly minimal\.

\How to choose the appropriate food\
\Size of food to use\
\How to defrost\
\How to offer the food to the snake\.\
