I keep an eye on the weather in Memphis all the time and it was freezing there last night and again tonight. Fedex delivers a day late on a small percentage of my shipments but, I am very careful this time of year. I have a bunch of babies that I will probably be keeping until spring. 40 hour heat packs do work 40 hours or more most of the time and insulation will keep the box okay for awhile after that. Little boids that arrive very cold often are okay after warming back up.
>>So... we sent two of our little guys out yesterday for priority overnight arrival. We included a 40 hour heatpack, and the area the snakes were in was reading in the low 70's when they left.

>>FedEx experiences delays, long story short.. they won't arrive until tomorrow afternoon. I'm worried about the little guys, I know they still arrive a bit cool with a heat pack, but now it looks like they'll be out longer than the 40 hours of heat the pack provides them. It is also much colder there tonight than it was yesterday. Blargh.

>>Buyer was very understanding, at least. We've all got our fingers crossed.
