How cold will you ship?

[Herpcam]

I've always set my low temperature for shipping at 40F, but I'm curious what everyone else has done and what their limits are. I'm in the unfortunate situation where I have to sell and ship out all of my geckos by the end of the month. I don't want to endanger the geckos, though, so I'm curious what everyone's experience has been. Will you allow lower temps if you hold it at the hub instead of sending it out on a truck to the recipient's house?

I've got 3/4" styrofoam insulated boxes with 40hr heat packs right now.

Thanks,
Rob

Rob, I have shipped between 32-40 degrees, but I double-box. I put the gecko in a smaller, styrofoam insulated box, and then put that box in a larger, styrofoam insulated box. I put 2 heat packs in the larger box to keep the air between the two warmer. I am not as concerned with the temperatures at the destination as I am if the overnight lows at the UPS sorting hub is below freezing.... I won't ship otherwise.
