What is hot in Canada? I'm in Texas and we've been mid 90's this week (~35C).

If you're talking mid 80's or so I think you have a good chance that a 3" rosie will be fine. I had slings get temporarily lost by FedEx once. They arrived 5 days later and all survived.

Hope for the best and make sure to have a water dish immediately available.

I accidentally ordered my son's B. albo when i was ordering feeder roaches. It was in the cart from my last visit doing price checks for them. Took a week to arrive and he was fine. This was last December when the temps here were in the high teens and low 20s in the day. I stressed that whole week when i saw what i had done lol i think the T was in better shape than i was when he got here.

I had a mature male Chaco (G. pulchripes) mailed to me a few years ago, which promptly got lost in the new sorting facility and didn't come to my door until 44 days had past.

A bit thirsty but fine.

This is perfect shipping weather right now in Canada actually. But I have lost a male sent to me once that was -20C that morning. Poor thing.

Glad yours made it.
