Shipping a Large Boa

[C.ADAMANTEUS]

Hi, Was wondering if someone could give me some info.
I have a wood crate I built, with breather holes, and lined with styrofoam sheets for comfort, and insulation.
Question is HEAT? Have never "SHIPPED" and animal in my life. Have always delivered, hoever, Now i have a need to ship, my 5 yr Old Female Albino Columbian. She is 7 ft. and I want her to be warm. Ive heard of heat packs, but do not know where to obtain, or how many to use, do they keep warm for a while?
Help plz

You can buy the heatpacks most anywhere, check walmart. They can last varying lengths of time depending on which kind you get. I believe most are 4-6hrs though.

You have to order the heatpacks online. Unless you can find a specailty shop like a camping store. They need to last a minium of 30 hours. The heat packs I use last 60 hours to make sure if there is a shipping error that the snake will have the heat it needs to wait the problem over...
