I'm in the process of getting a pair of adult shinglebacks shipped to me.

Where they currently reside, out west, the high temperature is in the 80's.

Where I am located, in the east, the low temperatures are in the 40's.

The shipper will drop the package off at the last possible moment (2:30pm) for overnight shipping. We are using shipyourreptiles who I understand use Fedex.

He is using the shipping materials sent to him from shipyourreptiles.com

I believe most packages coming this way from there travel through the Memphis hub where the temps will be 65hi and 40 lo.

The big question is... heat pack or not?

They are fairly large, bulky animals that will not quickly lose heat like a leopard gecko would, though I certainly would not want them to freeze sitting in a cargo hold somewhere. I'm also concerned that if a heat pack is used, it will be far too hot for them at the origin if they're sitting around waiting to be loaded on a truck.

Any have any experience with this? Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
