Answered prayers is right! And another round of thanks for all of you that prayed for her safety!beardie osk":2n3qhn9p said:I can hardly stand it she's so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You would never know that she was in a box for 2 days.
Tee-hee! She is pretty sweet huh! When I opened the box, her head was down. It was really scary. I picked her up and she was cold and kinda stiff, the heat packs weren't even warmdiamc":2n3qhn9p said:Oh Katrina, she is just the sweetest thing. :love5: It's so hard to believe that she spent almost 2 days in that little box and has adjusted so well. It really is amazing! Was she wide awake when you opened the box? Were the heat packs throwing off any heat at all?
Absolutely LOVE the name Karma, it really suits her especially since she had quite an ordeal to get to her forever home.
Welcome to the beardie forum family little Karma.
When I put her into the water she was kinda shaking, like little twitches so I took her out, I decided just to let her warm up under her lights first and she sat there for about 10 minutes then saw the dubia! I do think that the name is perfect for her, she's my good Karma!!
Oh my gosh Katrina, that must have been so scary, I'm sure your heart was pounding and your hands were shaking like crazy. She must have been SO confused, scared, cold. I had an awful time sleeping last night just thinking and worrying about her, wondering what was going through her little head.Tee-hee! She is pretty sweet huh!

She is indeed your GOOD Karma. :wink:

He survived, warmed up and at 4 yrs old, he's my love and remains my first born. 
I'm hoping that she has the same appetite today too! I just turned the lights on!sweetiepie9":3q0jn7xx said:
Diane, I think that Lauren (as the shipper) has to contact UPS to complain about her being mis-routed and late. But I will complain locally about them leaving her on the concrete door step when they dropped her off. That's ridiculous, the box was well marked showing LIVE ANIMAL! I honestly believe that she wouldn't have survived for a whole lot longer in the cold. All I was thinking is about the ER post where the kid put the beardie in the freezer...I just thinking to myself that in a very different way, that's what I did. I had so many things running through my mind...What's important though, is that she is safe and sound and will be very spoiled forever and ever!diamc":3q0jn7xx said:Oh my gosh Katrina, that must have been so scary, I'm sure your heart was pounding and your hands were shaking like crazy.

I still can't believe that she waited so long in that box, going all over the place. Are you going to contact UPS about it? I think they at least owe you an explanation as to what went wrong! You said the UPS man didn't knock on the door, he didn't just set the box down outside the door, did he? :shock:
I can now say since she arrived still alive, that it sounds like she wouldn't have survived much longer at all being that cold. Your prayers (and ours) were definitely answered!
Thank you!! My regular UPS drivers are usually pretty good about knocking, I have had 3 babies shipped here and worms on a monthly basis so this is our first (and hopefully last) disaster! Were you able to get refunded on the worms??RolandKyramere":3q0jn7xx said:
OMG!!! Poor Ollie!!!! Poor You!!!! But again, he made it and is happy and healthy so that's all that matters!!! I do think that my new little saying is "Built Beardie Tough" because they are tough lil' things!beardie osk":3q0jn7xx said:fez09":3q0jn7xx said:
When I bought my first baby beardie, Ollie, I was visiting Oregon, but I lived in Maine at the time. I didn't know that you couldn't bring reptiles on the plane so I had to do the overnight cross country, in the middle of Jan. When Ollie arrived the box was stone cold, he was freezing, laid out flat, and not moving. The hot packs were cold and hard and when I looked at what type they were, they were 4 hr. handwarmers, he had been without any heat for 20 hours, I was furious.
Thats all I could think of with Karma traveling, but didn't want to say anything........so I'm so happy she is fine and looks so great and now she's in forever home............congrats again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
