Shipping Question

[TortoiseRN]

Hey guys I'm going to be overnight shipping a 6" tort from Montana to California soon. Just wondering what temp it's ok to ship at if I add a few heat packs. I was thinking of shipping next Monday it's supposed to be In the 70s.

We have temperature guidelines at our site, in the ShipYourReptiles Get Help section- Regulating the temperature of your package

The FAQ following that one is specifically about using heat packs. Your phrasing gives me some concern. You should use shipping appropriate heat packs (40+ hours) and def not hand warmer types, and you should never just "add a few". Except for the largest boxes, one heat pack is all you need in the cold temps. You really risk overheating your animal with multiple heat packs, more is def not better.
