So what is the general consensus of what is safe shipping temps? I've seen all sorts of different rules that people have. Some people won't ship over 85 degrees, but others will ship below 95 degrees.

This is what I had for my guidelines...

Daytime temperatures no higher than 95 degrees
Nightime temperatures no lower than 35 degrees

but I wasn't sure if 35 was too low or if 95 was too high?

95 does seem a little high, especially when there is gunna be a bunch of boxes together and make it warmer...

It depends. Keep in mind of the overnight lows at the sorting hubs, and that geckos in a box in the back of a truck are going to be colder/hotter than in an a temperature controlled environment. My basic guidelines are no lower that 38 degrees and not hotter than 90 degrees.
