    Transporting New Baby BP

    This is my first snake, I'm a northern pacific-dweller who just got a ton of snowfall, and I'm worried about my little jungly friend getting hurt by the cold!

    It's -2 (28F), snow is falling and about a foot deep on the ground. The breeder is willing to hold onto the snake for as long as I need but I'm really excited to get him home. I'm meant to pick him up on Friday and he'll be in a warm car until he reaches his destination - but it's a couple hours away. Do you think that I should wait?

    Thanks.

    If his setup is ready and he's in the warm car the whole way there he should be fine.

    ..can bring a shoe box with a warmer in it?? Your breeder actually (if he ships) should have a warmer you can use.. Then keep him in a pillowcase with the warmer outside the pillowcase in the box and close the box.

    Id just put him in a snake bag and stash it in your coat pocket or something that like until you get to the car and you should be fine. As long as your enclosure is set up and you can put him right in it you should be good.
