This is definitely a brutal winter to be shipping reptiles! I shelled out $800.00 for a pair of Retics over a month ago that I may end up not being able to get until Spring... It sucks, but the animal's safe journey is what is most important. The weather just isn't cooperating. We ended up having 3 or 4 days of 50 - 63 degree weather here in Pittsburgh, PA this past week, but the days it warmed up here the temperatures plummeted down to the single digits in Nebraska where these guys are coming from...

Anyway, I hope everything works out and you get your snake safe and sound!
