to cold to ship?

[stewy84]

Just wondering what temp people would consider to be to cold to ship a leo? Thanks

Well seeing you live in IL like me it is way too cold to ship right now.But usually people will stop shipping when the low temps are below 40.

I prefer the lowest temp to be 37-40. I won't ship at all when it's below freezing.

I just received two geckos earlier this week, the temps were in the high 30s between the breeder and me. She shipped using an insulated box and a heat pack. My girls were fine I'm glad I didn't have to wait until spring to get them.

Well really it is on preference on the person and receiving the gecko's also.It varies from breeders and if you do decide to ship or receive a gecko in cold weather cold weather remember these tips from one of Marcia's thread.

That's not always enough when the temps are super low.
