    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

This is a ball python specific shipping question, hopefully this is not in the wrong place.

I'm shipping a 2500+g girl out to colorado, where at night it has been maybe 45, and during the day it's about 75. It's probably in the high 50's here at night, 60's during the day.

I have a box with 1" Styrofoam, but I think at this point I need a heat pack. I don't have time to order a reptile one, and I friend recommended I could use something like the glove warmers, does anyone have any advice on which kind to get (8 hour, 12 hour, etc), how to pack them, I know these can get hot and I dont want it burning the snake obviously, etc.

Thanks in advance!

The hand warmers don't sustain enough heat for a long enough period of time to be useful for shipping. At a minimum you need a 40hr heat pack.
