I shipped some boas back in '03 using superior enterprise boxes, foam and heat packs all to colder northeast area states, one boa had died when it got to the location it was cold because the heat pack had not worked. Other than that one time, never had an issue using heat packs... I wrap the heat pack in newspaper, attach to the top inside of the foam, snake goes in a deli cup with crumpled newspaper. Deli cup goes on the bottom and wadded newspaper between the cup and the top of the box(heat pack).

Now that I work for a packaging company I'm going to look into getting some boxes with a thicker foam insulation, Thanks for that idea Jeff! We get these types of boxes/foam sets from Cold Ice.
