Thankfully the temps maxed out at around 87 today and by the time I dropped them off at the drop off this evening, they were even a little lower. The delivery location is going to be in the low 80's as a high tomorrow, so we should be pretty safe on both ends. I put a cold pack in there for good measure though. Thanks for the advice everyone!





>>Over 90 is just too hot. IMO it's not a good idea to ship during temps that could easily kill the animal. Most shipments will make it on time but some simply do not. If your package gets delayed, could the snakes survive? IMO much wotrse for heat than cold. Too hot and the die, too cold and they go into a form of hibernation. Yes of course, too cold and they also die but that's much less likely.
