Hello everyone! Come spring I will be shipping off some eastern garters that I'm hoping to sell. They were born in August, still little guys, but I feel that they will be ready by spring. The problem? I don't have a clue about proper shipping procedures for this kind of animal.

Do I need an insulated box? At what point do I need to add heat/cooling packs? Can tupperware be used in place of deli cups? Any tricks to shipping multiple snakes in one box without heat issues?


Any advice is welcome! I've read a few tutorials, but most seem to be about the bigger snakes. I don't want to make any mistakes with these little guys... I've lost eneogh of them to natural causes, I don't need to lose any more!
