O.K. to ship???????

[Ophis]

Where I live the predicted daytime temps are high 20s/low 30s for the near future. Is it O.K. to have colubrids shipped to my location via overnite/insulated box/heat packs?

It would depend on if the seller knows what he/she is doing. Overnight, insulated box and heat packs could also translate to some as standard overnight (cheaper than express) arriving in the afternoon (30+ hours in transit) newspaper (insulation) and 8 hour hothands (heat packs). What I just described has actually happened to me. I personally would rather wait and be safe than sorry. If there is a carrier screw up in those temps there could be a problem.
