    What temps should cold packs be used on.

    The reason I want to know is because I'll be shipping some BPs soon and I do not know how hot is too hot to go without a cold pack.

    We suggest heat pack use for amphibians, but not typically for snakes and lizards. If it is getting too hot, it would be better to wait for a cooler break in the weather. Cool packs don't work the same as heat packs, in that they do not have an extended release, so their usability window is much more limited.

    You can see our specific temp guidelines, including heat and cold pack use, here:
