Re: Snakes in a hotel??????
If the snake is valuable, or you get a great deal, why not ship it? They may/maynot search your bags before boarding the plane, maybe you could try sneaking him into something like a cereal box or a chocolate box?
Re: Snakes in a hotel??????
but what about when you buy it like the first day of the show and you want to go to the second one what do you kepp it in? do you bring a rack or what?
Re: Snakes in a hotel??????
When I checked out the show rules, here is what they had to say about it....

9) If you choose to take reptiles to your hotel, please do so discreetly. Use boxes that are not clear. Many hotels have rules against animals in rooms. If you are discreet and put a “Do Not Disturb” sign on your door, you should not have a problem.
As for the plane, I'm in agreement about shipping. With security as tight as it is, you don't want to have to abandon an animal at the airport, or call the airline you plan on using. (although I think most have a no snake policy)
Re: Snakes in a hotel??????
Okay so I would pay for it there and then have them ship it to me?
But what if im driving home? well my mom then what do i just piuck it up from the show the day i leave?
Re: Snakes in a hotel??????
If you have any intention of purchasing animals I would plan on bringing rubbermaids, flexwatt, and a thermostat. Those kind of details you will probably have to work out with the vendor, but you'll have to transport them either way so why not have everything ready to go. :D
Re: Snakes in a hotel??????
Okay so when they are in the car then what do i do? also how do I go about the tubs and flexwatt thing in a hotel? like how would I set it up?
Re: Snakes in a hotel??????
If it were me, I'd bring an extra suitcase full of the stuff. That way no one needs to know what you are bringing in or out of the hotel. As for the car, I have a lovely little adapter for the cigarette lighter. You plug it in, and then it's like a regular plug. I use that when I'm transporting to the vet, to keep them toasty warm. Originally I got it to plug in the kid's tv, on long trips. ;)
Re: Snakes in a hotel??????
Where do I get one of these?
Re: Snakes in a hotel??????
I got mine at Walmart in the Electronics section. It's converter or something. (sorry I'm not the technical type ;) )
