How long can I leave a T in a box?

The Female G. Pulchra I ordered is taking particularly long to arrive (so much for priority overnight shipping) 🙄
Anyways. I may be at work when the T arrives and none of my family feels like opening the box. I was wondering if it would be harmful to the T in anyway to leave her in the packaging just a little bit longer (my shift is only 4 hours tonight) I don't wanna risk suffocating the poor thing.

She will be fine as long and she is not left in the mailbox or in direct sun. I would just ask them to open the box and take the heat pack out.

I once had a box of 17 ts lost in the mail for 3 weeks in the heat of summer...when they arrived, there were no losses.

As long as theyre packed well, it shouldnt be an issue.

Your suffocation concern is an impossibility...ts are passive breathers and require next to nothing...this combined with their love of dark, tight places is why ts ship so darn well.
