    Heat pack in this heat?

    To all the breaders...do you add a 40 hour heat pack in this heat? I'm shipping tomorrow and wondered if others add the heat pack when it is this hot out? I will take the package to fedex tuesday close to 6:00 pm and delivery is scheduled by noon on Wednesday. I'm in Tennessee and the baby ball is going to Oregon.

    Thanks!!

    Check the weather to see what the lows will be, most likely won't need any packs.

    Bend Oregon high Tuesday 92 low Tuesday night 51 high Wednesday 82 low 45
    Tennessee high Tuesday 87 low 70 and will be gone by Wednesday. With the cold temps in Bend Oregon I'm leaning towards using the heat pack...any other opinions?

    I'm shipping out Tuesday night at 6:00 pm for a overnight delivery by noon on Wednesday. I think the heat pack is needed. Thanks Lisa!!!

    I personally would shy away from using any heat packs in august. A snake can survive the cold a lot easier then it can the warm. What if it gets layed over in a warmer then anticipated climate? What if fedex messes up and it ends up in Florida? You never know...
