Cool!

Temperature should be fine at the moment, its not cold enough to need a heat pack as long as the T is insulated enough. It's mainly the extremes - winter and heatwaves you need to worry about.
I've sent a few through the post now and so far (touch wood) all have arrived in good condition.

You will need a tub thats just big enough to not squish him, but thats not too big to give him too much room to bounce around. You want something snug.
I dampen some paper towels, and line around the tub, this helps against dehydration and gives them a soft cushion just in case of jostling during transit.
I put towels on the bottom, around the sides, put the T in, then more towels on the top.

You don't have to worry about air holes, they breathe differently, so a tubs worth of air will be plenty for an overnight trip.
Then I selotape down the lid, just in case he pops it off, and put this tub in a box lined with scrunched newspaper (bottom sides & top) for added bounce protection, and insulation.

Let me know if this makes sense, I can send some pics if you need

(it wouldn't let me send more that 420 characters at a time lol)

ok
