How many heat packs for shipping ?

TK2 Feb 20, 2004 05:27 PM

Hi All,

I am shipping a hatchling monitor 10", overnight shipping. The shipping container is an 11x11x11 box with a 1 1/2" thick styrofoam inner box. The heat pack will be secured to the bottom inside styrofoam box with shipping peanuts on top, then the monitor in a cloth bag with more shipping peanuts surrounding it. The box is going from S.California to Washington. For all you who have shipped before -

How many UniHeat packs would work, 1 or 2 ?

Any other tips, suggestions would be appreciated. I am going to experiment with one heat pack over 24Hrs. hooked up to a digital readout/probe and see what the temps range.

Thank,
