Anyone shipping from Florida to the Northern states?

I am checking to see what other shippers are doing in my situation. I live in Florida where over the next week the temps are going to be in the upper 80's and I have to ship to Ohio and Massachusetts where the temps are into the mid 40's. I have shipped many times, just not in these conditions. Until now, the temps were appropriate in both parts of the country for shipping. Either hot enough for a cold pack or cold enough for a heat pack or neither. I feel that it is too hot to ship from Florida and add a hot pack for their arrival up north because the first few hours they are going to be in a 90 degree warehouse and a heat pack will raise the temps 13 or so degrees which will cook them. If I don't put in a hot pack it seems they may get frozen after being on a plane up north then in a wharehouse and on a delivery truck.

My question is: What are other shippers doing in these conditions?

Thanks
 
Our temps in Florida are starting to drop (going to be in the 50's tonight, at least in my part of FL) so you can probably get away with using the heat pack and not worry too much about cooking the snakes.
 
Hey Susan, yes they are dropping at night for the next few days but these will be shipped during the day then sent into a hot warehouse. A heat pack activates in minutes.
