Most places have them. You can also use hand warmers sold at sporting goods stores. But be careful with them..they get alot warmer than the other brands. So use caution

Bill,
No!!!
You will have Popsicles
I would try LFS, periodically Petsmart will have them by the reptile supplies.
IMO Depending on the value and replacement availability of the coral, I would order a 40hr heat pack. I have some LMK.

If it was me I would buy the 40 or 72 hour heat packs. That way if you do have any type of delay, it ups your chances of survival. Plus the longer hour heat packs hold a more consistent heat. With the snow in Colorado I would wait though. Better to be safe.

Check eBay as well. Occasionally you can find amazing deals and they ship priority. So if you order today you should have them by the weekend. That way you can be all ready to ship on Monday and it will let the snow storm pass.

You can get 24hr hand warmers at ***** Sporting Goods for about 1.00. Most sporting good stores have them this times of year. Walmart may have them in stock already. You would want to get a 24hr pack minimum.

They are made of the exact same thing as heat packs. I ship ith hand warmers all of the time. Had 22 boxes last week that were shipped with hand warmers from Gander Mountain.

It seems like the question was kinda answered so I thought I might kinda high jack it for something similar. I need some of the 40 hour heat packs and Im also looking for some frag shipping bags (maybe like a 2X8 and thick if possible) Who does everybody order from?
