Q about transporting

[First_time_herp]

Is there a way to safly transport a bp in a car? Like for a long drive?

[Jeanne]

I always transport all mine in snake bags that are tied at the top.

well, as jeanne said that is the best method for keeping them secure. but you also want your bp to feel as if it isn't going however fast your car is. snakes freak in cars from my experience. get a nice thick rubbermaid or something and keep the snake bag in there, with maybe some towels or something to keep him from sliding around.

Cool! Thanks, but do I need anything for heat?

As long as its not under 70 degrees outside, you should be fine for a short period of time. If it is cold for some reason (its summer yeah!) just place one of those small disposable hand warmers in or under the rubbermaid you choose to transport in. Some of those heat pouches get kinda hot at first, so activate it and wait a short while for it to get to normal temperature before placing it with the snake.

Ok, thanks, I need to know because I am prbably getting my snake before I move. And I need a way to transport it in the car with me from Michigan to Minnesota.
