    Transporting a snake to class.
    Well I'm in my 3rd year of college now, and in my bio lab I volunteered to bring in "a live snake" to show people how they move. So i decided to bring my beautiful Dumerils boa in for display :) Problem is, it's been on and off semi cold here in GA, so I need some ideas of how to transport her without her getting cold.

    I was thinking putting her in her snake bag, then into a shoe box with a hand warmer in it. The class is about an hour and a half long so I would need to keep her warm until the end of the class. Should I bring her flexwatt? What would you do?

    A heating pad should last long enough to drive to school, sit through class, and then drive home. I love that you are going to be bringing in your snake to educate some other folks!

    Thank you sir!! Now by heating pad do you mean I should bring her flrxwatt to class with me? Or should I do the shoebox and hand warmer idea?

    Get a shipping heat pack for the shoebox, not a hand warmer.

    Hand warmer wrapped in a hand towel to keep the heat from being directly on the snake, but yes, a hand warmer/shipping pack, not some flexwatt.

    I agree with getting a shipping pack. Hand warmers get too hot and depending how long you're at school, they burn out quickly.
