When a T is shipped are they insulated or put on heat pads?? I want to get an A. versicolor sling (.75"), and I know winter is here, sooo will she be ok>?

The box should be split up into two different sections. Both which are insulated but one holding the T container and the other holding the heat pack. That tends to give them enough warmth but not too hot.

Yes it will be ok especially if shipped over nite in an insulated box. Heat pads are unnecessary now. I have been shipping 3 day w/o htng and all have arrived in good shape.

You are forgetting one important thing:

Location:

here now.. I'd say you'd have to use heat pads.

but you should always give the T(s) some room between. over heating can be a problem.

It won;t be getting over 45 here today and nights have been freezing regularly.
