I am using Jeff's box to ship a GTP to MD next week (I'm recycling :P) where the temps are mid to high 10's. I received the box with a adult male Peruvian I bought with no heat pad and no additional padding...as he described...last year around this same time. While I was surprised with the simple packing, the snake was fine and is still doing fine.

Waste not want not.

You can arrange to have the package held for pick up to eliminate the animal being subjected to the eliments as well.

There is nothing more fun than opening your door and seeing a overnight box on your porch though.....I have two shipments coming next week
