Moving Snakes Cross-Country
Here's the Deal, I'm moving half-way across the country in a month and have a few questions about moving my snakes. The drive is about 21 hours straight, though we will probably be stopping for a night.
First off: Can I house the three of them together for the move or should I cage them separately? (Their sizes vary, 31 in, 15 in, and 10 inches. Not sure if that matters)
Secondly: What can I put them in and how should I maintain the temperature? I was thinking of drilling holes in some plastic tubs so they could breathe but I was clueless on how to give them some portable heat.
Thirdly: Should I not feed them a certain time before the move? ( I know this may sound silly, but I know not to feed my cat for a few hours before we start driving)
Lastly: Is there anything else I should take into consideration? :snake:

Thank you both for your replies! I'll definitely use the plastic totes with holes in them, though I can't seem to find a portable heat mat as of yet.

I wouldn't necessarily worry about heat, with it being a warm time of year... Even if you have to travel with the windows cracked, better u be a little warm than ur snakes getting cold...but again being the time of year it is I wouldn't stress to much about it.... The way I transport my animals is, put each snake in a pillow case tie a knot at the top, put 3 snakes (depending on size of snake) or more per 28 qt tub with lid... Less tubs or totes u have to lug around....
