How to ship zoo's?

[WingnutSr]

I have a couple of really large colonies, and would like to try trading with others. But before I attempt any trades, I would like to know the best way to package and ship these. I would hate to do it wrong and have someone get something dead!
Any help would be really appreciated.

ahh its been a while since i been on the forums,

anyways the best way to ship them is get them in a thermos with a damp piece of papertowel,throw your damp paper towel and zoa's in and there you go.you can find cheap thermos at ur dollar store.i believe you can also wrap the zoas in a damp piece of paper towel.hope this helps

Heat the thermos overnight before you pack it.
If you have a styrofoam box, heat that overnight too. If you don't the box and thermos will bring the zoa and water cown to the temp it's at.
Also put the styrofoam box in a garbagebag as this will keep the warm air in and cold air out. Tape all the seams of the boxes(styrofoam and the outer cardboard) to keep air exchange at a min.
Alot of folks cut styrofoam to line the inside of a cardboard box, but if you don't tape/glue the seams, htis is a waste of time.
