No one wants to get a frozen or cooked snake, poor things. Hopefully it was just an accident that he forgot the heat pack but still, lives on the line!

Yeah I did touch base with him, since I thought he might have had a reason as to why he didn't include one given his reputation in the community (Steve Roussis) and he did confirm that he did not put a heat pack in due to the temps not being an issue last night. I actually put a temp gun on the pastel pied and bee from Justin Kobylka (which did have a heat pack) and the snakes were only a couple degrees off from her, so I don't know if I got worried for nothing. I will get some new pics by this evening and thanks for all of the positive feedback everyone!

I immediately dropped her into her tub to help her raise her body temp. Any advice here if I should do something else? Assuming that this is normal behavior after a cold transit, but no heat pack worried me.
My other box from Justin was packed correctly; although the bee and pastel pied were both pretty cold too, so I dropped them into their tubs and when they get warmed up and a little more comfortable I will take some better pics, but for now, I will share these pitiful excuses for pictures that do not do these new additions justice!

Difficult to be photogenic when you are freezing, but I will update pics later on this afternoon.

Re: FedEx finally made it
They should of used a heat pack. It would piss me off if I get a ball that guns in the mid 60's. I sent an animal to New Jersey, that got there this morning,and asked the buyer about the temp of the animal. I like to gauge the heat pack to the temps it went through. He told me the snake felt the same temp as if he pulled it out of his rack.
