I verified cargo info with the FedEx Live Animal Desk just the other day. Packages are held in a pressurized hold, with temperature regulated between 55-75F.

Thanks for that great tidbit Robyn. Is that all packages? Or, do you have to inform them that you have live animals or temperature sensitive goods to get in that "special area"?

I agree, snakes can handle a little cold better than heat. But a properly packed snake will be just fine in most weather.

That would be all Overnight packages. I imagine freight and pallets are handled differently. They handle millions of packages a day, they don't do any sorting on content, aside from Hazardous or High Value type stuff, which is booked differently.

Re: when is it too cold to ship?
it all depends on how you label it and what you pay. fedex has so many services that if you "spend enough" there is a special service that they will hand deliver mail for you... but it comes at a cost. off topic, why to getting rid of them?
