    I've bought shipping boxes from superior before, but not bags. I'd probably go with whoever works out to be cheaper (don't forget to check shipping costs). TSK's look nice from the pictures. No matter which ones you get I'd use zip-ties to close them.

    Re: Best snake bags?

    i have been using cotton pillow cases for 20 years to transport every type of snake under the sun, and i have never had any problem at all. just check the seems for any holes put the snake in the bottom, twist and tie.

    Scallop bags 100% cotton with a bit of an open weave no sizing or anything else just raw unbleached cotton. Here is the supplier I get mine from but I am sure there is a us dealer anywhere scallops are fished.

    Thanks for all the responses guys. I'm looking to order about 100 bags to use for transporting my 23 BPs in a upcoming move and to use for shipping baby/young BP's so I'm looking to make a bulk order of snake bags. I'm going to be going through alot of bags so I don't think pillow cases would be cost efficient enough for the amount of them I'm going to need. Ordering 100 12 X 16 bags you can get them for about $.71 each.
    I'm just wondering if there is any difference in quality between the company's that sell snake bags. So far they seem to be about the same. Although I've got to say I like the idea of blue thread to make it easier to spot open seams.

    is there an alternative to snake bags in shipping i have seen youtube videos with snakes shipped in tupperware? is this bad?
    I've seen small snakes like Corns and Kings being shipping in deli cups. I've only ever seen BP's shipped in snake bags or pillow cases.

    That's a good price the scallop bags are a bit bigger and a bit more cash... 15x25 inches, I paid $80 for 100 bags the price drops by how many you get if you wanted they sell them by the pound some places but there was a minimum 50 pound order I can't imagine how many that would be.
