the longest heating time I've found were 18 hour heat packs at k-mart in the hunting/fishing area. Be careful with the low hour heat as their surface temps actually get hotter then the longer hour heating ones. make sure if your using them for shipping you leave space and or put packing material between the deli or tub the dragon is in, and the heat pack. You dont want him sitting on it with the shorter hr heat packs higher surface temp..

the lower the hour they work the higher the surfice temps are.

example: a 40hr heat pack has a surface temp of 105 while an 18 hour pack has a surface temp of 130 degrees.. lower hour packs heat up faster, get hotter, but die sooner. high hour packs heat up slower, don't get as hot, but last longer
