I use 7"x7"x6" insulated boxes I purchase from superior enterprise for my hatchlings.

I normally use 12x9x6 but I see other people offering shipping for $35 so I know that they are using smaller boxes. Like Dean said, he uses 7x7x6. I think that is probably ok when temps are perfect but I would be worried about shipping a snake in a box that small if I had to use a heat or ice pack. I guess I'll stick with the 12x9x6 for my own piece of mind. Thank you both for your replies.
