I am confident I won't have any problems.

Last year I had several customers that had purchased Boas from us, Problem was it was either cold here or at there place (This was in January) so I got tired of waiting for the weather to cooperate so I had to see what would happen with the inside temp of a shipping box overnight in my truck with an out side temp of 24 degrees. After a few tries I found that a box 12 x 9 x 6 with 1/2 inch insulation would stay a 70 degrees with three 40 hour heat packs. So I think that if you do a test in your refrigerator for 15 hours you should get a good Idea how the snake will fare being shipped through Fed EX overnight. By the way I recommend that all shippers send through a shipping company that allows the shipping of snakes like Fed EX or Delta Dash because the last thing we need is more bad press good luck Scott Mid Atlantic Morphs
