I'd be shipping to a 30 degree F weather, shipyourreptiles doesn't recommend it. Can I ship in this weather if I were to like use two heatpacks?

What are you trying to ship? I don't recommend shipping in really cold weather. but if you use an oversized box and keep your heat packs far from the geckos, and the box has decent ventilation you can pull it off.

Heat packs use oxygen to heat up, so in an enclosed space 2 will quickly burn out all the oxygen. Even 1 can kill a gecko in an airtight container.
