traveling snakes

I'm going away for Christmas to my parents house which is 7 hours away. I'm not sure what to do with my ball. I could leave him at my home but the problem with that is his cage doesn't hold humidity past a day and his heat lamp would have to be left on 24/7 and that could be a fire hazard. or i could buy a tupper ware container and bring him with me and his under tank heater and water dish. what would be the better choice? what would you do?

please i need an answer by the end of the day since im leaving tomorrow morning.

How big is your snake? Do you have a thermostat to regulate your under tank heater? Humidity is the least of your concern not unless he's on shed. Is it snowing where you're going? What I would do is put him temporarily in a tub set up (I'm assuming he's on a tank set up with heat lamp?) and leave him home. Place the UTH under a sterilite or rubbermade tub. Just make sure you use a thermostat for the UTH.

the light can be put on a 10 dollar timer and the fire hazard comes from animals or people knocking it over, so as long as you don't have a cat or dog, you should be fine.

alright thanks. i have a heat lamp and a UTH hooked to a to a thermostat. Why would I remove him from his tank and put him in a tupper ware container if i leave him at home?
