Hi! I'll be shipping some leopards for the first time, and am wondering how to be so properly. I am experienced at shipping beardies, but understand that with leopards too much heat is worse than too little heat. I have either the 35 hour warmers, or regular 16 hour hand warmers (or could get something else if advised to). Is there an outside temp at which point you shouldn't add heat packs in order not to bake the poor things? I want them to arrive heathy and as comfortable as possible.
Thanks.

I only use heat-packs when the origin, transit, and destination temperatures drop below about 45-50*. Depending on your box size, each 40-hour heat pack will raise the internal temps. around 15-20*.
