    transporting a snake in shed
    So my BP is right in the middle of his shed cycle. He just came out of blue this morning. Tomorrow I need to transport him from my parent's house back to my house which is a 3 hour drive. I have done this drive a few times with him and the temp always stayed in the low-mid 80s but I wasn't monitoring the humidity, but I'm guessing it was real low since there was no water in his box.

    To transport I put him in a snake bag and then wrap into a towel which fills up the rest of the cardboard box he is in. Since he is about to shed I don't want to drop the humidity for that long. Would it be a good idea to put some moss in with him or maybe dampen the towel a little bit?

    Any suggestions?

    My axanthic just shed in his bag the other day, he was in for about a half hour and when I opened it he had a perfect shed.

    I agree he should be fine. I don't think I would wet the towel, as it might get to cold during the drive.
