    Maybe a heat pack (like how you ship snakes and two styrofoam coolers one with the heat pack and snake in a bag the other with ice but bet someone with experience will chime in good luck and congratulations on your new home

    She’ll be fine at that temp for that length of time. For the mice, I once had to move an 18hr drive away with snakes and frozen feeders. Stuffed all feeders in an airtight ziplock and froze that bag solid in a big bowl of water before I left. Packed it in a well iced cooler and all was fine when I reached the destination
