    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....

At what temperature would you recommend the use of cold packs? I am wondering because I am shipping to an area who's highs are in the mid 80s and lows in the mid 60s. Would a cold pack be necessary here? Thanks in advance, Chris.
 
I was going to leave this for the leo people, but the board seems to be slow in general yesterday/today. No, you don't need a cool pack at the temps listed. IMO cold packs are for shipping during high temps. The things you look at when making that decision are: local temps when you ship, are you having the box picked up or dropping it off, overnight temps (check the hub it will likely hit during the night), and delivery time destination temps. I purposely left off specific temperature recommendations because I don't deal with leos and would rather let those that do handle that part
 
Someone else may be able to answer this one. I was thinking 90+, but I'm not sure yet. Have not shipped durring summer.

Paul, are you complaining? lol I love cold pack season, give me summer!!!!
 
Thanks for your input guys, yeah I'm used to cold weather shipping. Pullman is crazy with weather though one day it's 34 and the next its 65. Life of eastern washington :)
 
I thought that soon as it wasn't cold out, i would get a few months to ship geckos w/out a heating or cooling element! But guess not :ack2:
 
that all depends on where you are shipping to...for most areas, you should get that sort of grace period
