Shipping Question

[Steve]

Hey
I'm about to ship some snakes. I'm just wondering if its necessary for me to use heat pads during the summer? I've only shipped and received during the winter before.

[ANACONDASAURUS]

I would say no. But I don't know your area. Where is it going to be shipped to?

[Steve]

ottawa to calgary

[ANACONDASAURUS]

How is the weather there @ night and during the day?

[Steve]

leaving here at 5 ottawa time
arriving at 8calgary time

[ANACONDASAURUS]

I would say no

[Steve]

thanks

Steve i would say no too, I live in montreal and when i ship west during the summer i never used heat pads. I havent watch the news to day but i'm sure there is no snow this week ;)

Just watch the weather forecast and ship overnight on a good day.

One thing to remember, in the high altitudes it is very cold. who are you shipping with? If you're shipping with air canada they have heated holds. if you're shipping with west jet they don't. you may want to include some water bottles just to provide stable temps

OMG, you ALWAYS use heat packs. Just because its summer here, doesn't mean its warm up in the sky!! With the altitude that the planes are at, its FREEZING up there. Literally.

Of course you use heat packs. If you have never shipped before, contact someone who has so they can show you how to do it.
