A thermometer that would tell the temperatures that the snake experienced during shipping would be nice, but I'm not sure what practical value it would have. I guess if one learns that the snake experienced extreme cold then one could be particularly wary of certain diseases. What I'd really like if I were going to ship or receive snakes is something that could regulate the temperatures during shipping. A battery powered thermostat that would control heating and cooling sources would be ideal. I have a couple of ideas, but I'll spare you a long explanation. The contraption would likely cost several hundred dollars, but for an expensive snake, the reduction in risk would be well worth the cost.

It's not how many snakes you have. It's how happy and healthy you can keep them.
