Cold pack or no cold pack?
I am shipping a snake out tomorrow. The high here tomorrow is 90 degrees and the low tomorrow is 72. The snake is leaving at 7pm. The high is 91 where the snake will be arriving on the day of arrival and the over night low there is 63. Basically the snake should never be in the high temps. Would you use a cool pack or nothing?

I would not, but I would also check to confirm a 10:30am delivery time. If it is an outlying area, and doesn't deliver until later in the day, there are other options to ensure the safe arrival of the animal, including Hold for Pickup at the FedEx location.

I don't think you need it, especially with it leaving as late as it is.

Thanks for the help. I did not use anything and she got there fine this morning :-)

This exactly what I do, just sent a snake to Yuma, AZ and had them pick up at Fed Ex so it never goes on the truck in the morning.

I simply don't ship if temps are above 90F. I would be too afraid to use a cold pack with a ball python, as they're so sensitive to being chilled, and they'll be spending a lot of time inside distribution centers at near 70F.
