shipping wennerae

[gharner]

im planning on getting a mantis (N. wennerae). the place of purchase said that it would be fine with priority shipping. it is 2 days, is there any way a mantis would survive this???!!!!

If the animal is healthy, has not eaten for a couple of days, is packed in oxygen, remains at temperatures between 65-80 degrees, and has enough water, there should be no problem. However, that is a lot of "ifs".
