How do you guys ship when going from one extreme to another? For instance I'm in Miami where its like 88 degrees in the day. I need to ship to somewhere that at best is getting up to the 50's. Do I use a heat pack? Will it be to hot for the gecko while its in Florida? Without it will it be to cold at its destination?

Im not an expert or anything but i have been told cooler is much better then to hot. (For shipping anyways)

Hot will just flat out kill them.
Cold they will kinda go into a hibernation then need to be warmed slowly.

Either way there is a risk.

I would wait till the temps between points are closer.

A well insulated box should hold a temp you want, atleast for overnight air.
