I've been shipping snakes for about 15 years. I have shipped all types of snakes and I have tried all kinds of different packaging/heating methods. To this day I email the person after they have received the snake and ask them if the snake was warm, was the package secure or was there anything they would have done differently to the package. I currently use propack boxes with 40 hour heat packs in the winter. The smaller boxes are about $15.00 each but they are well worth it. They are the one piece cooler boxes and in my opinion, have minimal air exchange(or heat loss) compared to superior boxes or homemade boxes. Best of luck. Mike Panichi
