It has been in the upper teens/lower 20's at night here and all the packages I have been shipping/recieving are just fine. As long as you use an insulated box, good padding like newspaper that helps insulate, a nice snake bag or plastic container, and at least 1 60-hour heat pack (2 if you're using a 15x11x7 box or bigger). The snakes I have recieved lately have all been great -- warm like they would normally be in my house, but not hot and definitely far from being cold. Same with the 2 I sent out the other day. I recieved a pair of baby butter motley cornsnakes today that had NO insulation, NO heat pack (big WTF on my end), but yet they somehow made it through by shutting down and after being warmed up in my hands, they are acting like nothing happened. Wisconsin is damn cold right now, as are a few other places up on our latitude, but as long as you're smart and plan ahead (make sure to use long-lasting heat packs in case of delay), your animals will be fine.
