    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....

Heyas,
I am preping to ship out 3 snakes. I always shipped in cooler weather, and wow, I was surprised at the temps on the receiving end!!

Temps all this week for buyer is 105 high, 75 low. I understand package should be delivered int he morning, but still..

my temps are 89/60.

I never used cool packs, and so I dont have them. I can get them but it will take some time. If that is the case, that is the case.

So, I am thinking temps are on the high side to ship, and i right?

I appreciate any feedback and advice. I never shipped during the summer.

Check the hourly forecast to get a feel for how quickly the temp will be rising.
Going into those kinds of temps almost screams for having the package held for pickup, IMO (but I'm rather biased in that regard); but I'd still be inclined to cold pack, in the name of safety. An hour or two delay on a day like that could be deadly.

Bottom line - you are the one guaranteeing the safe arrival of the animal(s)...if you think it's too hot, don't ship.
 
Yeah, I had said that to him last night. He agrees, and was willing to wait til it was best for the snakes.

It was more along the lines of me saying I can ship- let me check the temps first b4 for sure, sent email, checked temps- WOAH 105.

Thanks for the tips. I did order cool packs for future use, tho that temp is too high for me to be comfy.
