    How do you guys travel with your big snakes?
    What do you guys keep your large snakes in when you travel with them? I brought my 7' burm to an expo for show a couple weekends ago and I was able to get him into the largest snake bag I have but it I can tell it's getting too small. I have heard of people using pillow cases (actually the table across from me packed their 18' burm into a pillowcase) and I am assuming these are breathable just like cloth bags? Do you guys use Pillow cases or Tubs? I have a large tub that I use to hold him while I clean him that could easily hold a 12-15 ft snake. I drilled holes into the sides for air. I am assuming this would be necessary to have if I travel with a snake in a large tub too, correct?

    Footlocker, locks, holes drilled, towel in the bottom, has wheels. I think about $25 at Walmart.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...42e4f99316.jpg

    IRIS VE-175 Christmas Tree tub. I put a folded blanket in the bottom for cushion and absorbing urine (bring extras!) and a small towel or thin baby blanket over top of the snake once it settles in.

    My 10’ retic goes in a large laundry bag, tied and zip tied, then into a 100qt latching lid hefty tub with holes drilled. I always bring a few towels for cushions and extras to clean up any wastes that my be passed during travel.

    I don't have giant snakes but if I did, I'd still use a large ice chest, with bagged snake inside. Probably need king-size pillow cases ;) but they're plenty cheap
    at thrift stores. I just prefer to protect ALL my snakes from heat or cold issues when traveling, and they make some large ice chests with wheels too. (as long
    as they're big enough inside???)
