Question on heat packs?

Leo Lover Sep 21, 2003 04:53 PM

I just made a sale on one of my geckos, and I have a question about a heat pack.

I have no ordered my heat packs yet. I was going to do it tomorrow (Monday)
If the girl sends me the money today or tomorrow, I was wondering if 18 hour heat packs would be ok?

They are those "hot hands" heat packs you can find at Walmart. They are 18 hours of heat. I just had some laying around. I keep them around in case I go to a reptile show in the winter and I take them with me to keep the geckos warm, if I were to buy anything.

I just want to know if this is ok. If not, I will order other heat packs as I feel better ordering ones that give off more heat for more hours.

I need some advice.

Thanx in advance

Shayna-

If you are worried about it you should probably wait until you have 40 hour heat packs. If you want me to I will put an unopened one in with your package tomorrow.

Let me know if you want me to.

Kelli-

Oh thank you so much! I really do appreciate that. Thats very kind of you.

I was just very leery about the 18 hour ones. Those were just ones to use when I'd go to a reptile show.

I'll make sure to call tomorrow to order some. Its starting to get cooler outside.

It's about 60 on my end and 70 on her end, should I use the heat pack? The night time temps are cooler, and I just want him to get there safe and sound.

Thanx Kelli!!!
