I need some advice on shipping tortoises

I am shipping tortoises for the 1st time tomorrow. They are going from Bellingham, WA to Chester, VA. Daytime temps at both locations are in the 50's but overnights are near or at freezing. Heat pack no? That's what I'm thinking but they are just a year old kids so I want to be sure. They are Cherry Foot Tortoises if that helps.

Little late for this shipment, but one 40+ hour heat pack was the correct choice, yes.

We just posted a terrific tortoise shipping photo album How-To as well- https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...7383507&type=3
