Well I don't recommend UPS, just had bad experiences with them, but I would put them in snake bags. Tie the bags tight, fill the box with newspaper and put the snake in the middle of the paper. If temperatures are a concern, the box should be lined with styrofoam on all sides and the top and heat packs should be added.

Heat packs need oxygen, so I usually put them at the bottom of the box and then poke a couple of holes in the bottom of the box.

What part of Va are you moving to. I live in the tidewater area. If you are moving to this area I would be willing to help you out with shipping if you need it.
