I was curious what temps do you consider safe to ship baby boas?

Do you look at the night temps or day temps? It seems like night temps should be considered because that is when shipping takes place.

I ship in an isulated box with crumbled newspaper and 40hr heat packs. Any more suggestions for safe shipping?

Thanks Greg Reinert

Yes night time lows are critical. One key thing to check is the cariers main sort facility since that's where the package will spend a good portion of the coldest night time temps.

I don't ship below 40 degrees.

LOL, to many snakes to list, last count:
13.24 BRB
12.14 BCI
And those are only the breeders

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

Greg,
I have shipped when the night temps have dipped below 10 degrees. I know, I know, that's not good. I'm very confident in my packing skills that I know my boxes can stay out for 60 hours before delivery.

I just needed a little reassurance. I want to make sure that I am doing the right thing.
