I'm happy to announce that I hold the title for longest time for a surviving shipment!
I sent a sexed pair of CPO to someone in Florida on September 5th, and I just got it back marked "unclaimed", today. I got home and expected a stinky box, and when I opened it, to my surprise, there was 2 healthy CPO staring at me from their bags.
So there ya go, 91 days in the mail, from freezing washington to burning hot florida, and back to freezing washington and still alive. Talk about a live arrival guarantee
They are in a crayfish paradise as far as they're concerned. They are in there high giving their brothers and sisters telling them about their great adventure, haha.
Wow that is a crazy long time for something live to be in the mail! What did you ship them in out of curiosity, breather bags? What ever you used sure works great!
Even for CPOs? I always thought they must be kept 100% underwater. I know regular river crays may go on land a bit, but mostly they are fully underwater.
They can be kept underwater, I'm only talking about when shipping them.
They do better in shipping if they have mostly air
