I would go with a small heat pack. You can also check with the company you ship if they heat their storage area (or cargo area if they ship via plan as well as the storage area outside the plan, before/after loading). If they heat it then the dragon should be fine without a heat pack.

52F is too cold to keep your dragon over night (if the shipper doesn't heat their storage area) though 70-85F is fine. I would not feed your dragon the day you ship. The new owner can offer food once she arrives and is settled in her new cage that day.
