Nah....he'll be fine! Mine spent two days in a cardboard box entirely lined on all sides with 1" thick styrofoam. They use oxygen at a much, MUCH slower rate than mammals do.

No. Ball pythons are shipped overnight by breeders all the time. They can be in that sealed box for ~12 hours, sometimes a lot more and do just fine

Oh yeah? Well maybe so...but your avatar is uglier, too! :carrot:

Not sure how practical this would be with a smaller snake, but when I took my 7' boa to the vet in cold weather, I put her in the plastic tub then slipped the tub inside my insulated sleeping bag and folded it over. She was quite toasty when I took her out at the vet's office.

Certainly.

Voldemort, the main thing is to make sure he's not exposed to the cold for too long. bp's really need that heat. The faster you can get him in and out without him being exposed to the elements, the better. I think you'll do just fine. :gj:
