I worked for a major retail toy chain in the distribution center where we would get containers from overseas filled with not only product, but the occaisional critter. I dont know how long it takes to deliver a container from China, but I was always surprised that critters would live that long. We had a couple of cats delivered and the occaisional snake. Mostly spiders and one dog. Maintenance dept was always called to rid the building of the larger critters. What did they think I was, part of the humane society. If we did happen to trap them, the cops usuall just disposed of them. We were close to the training academy.
