packaging techniques

[matthew spooner]

hiya guys, thought i would just quickly pick everybodie sbrains. when i sedn Ts through the post i usually use cricket type tubs to put them in, i pack them with kitchen towel, moistened then put the T in and put more kitchen towel on top. with more nasty species, i use a kitchen roll middle to transfer them between their tank and the packaging tub. i was thinking, for ease and to minimize the tagging risk, could i not just pack out the tube and put that in a box with heat etc, also then making it easier for the recipient to put the T in the tank the other end. is their any body already using this technique?

wow, how quick and simple is that, cheers mark, one thing though as it doesnt mention it in the download, is it advisable to put some kind of ventilation holes in the bag?
