ventilation
Hi, Looking for advise:
I’m modifying a cooler to use as a carrier for my BRB or, to put him in if the power goes out..
I’ve drilled six large holes in the top for ventilation.
Should this be enough?
-
More than enough, I would think. In fact, I'd probably tape over 5 of them.
When I had to bag my snakes for an ice storm that knocked out our power for days, I put 1-3 snakes (depending on size & compatibility) in each large ice
chest, with NO holes drilled. Every 8-9 hours, I changed the large jars of hot water inside that kept them warm (thus opening each chest twice, briefly).
All my snakes stayed perfectly healthy. (Another way is to put a tiny wad of tape where the lid comes down, to leave just the tiniest gap.)
When snakes are shipped by air in styro-foam boxes, I don't think most of them even have any air holes, so keep that in mind.
:gj: for planning ahead & being prepared!

Curious here, what do you mean by taking your snake out with you drinking?

I think we know exactly what that means.......

Re: ventilation
So just to clarify here, when you go out drinking, you bring your baby Brazilian Rainbow Boa out with you? And that's why you are asking about making a cooler carrier?

"like" meaning "as if" [she was taking her snake out drinking with her].
I believe her initial post above was perfectly clear as to her intent, but for some reason the "friendly" FB folks misinterpreted her question & over-reacted...:rolleyes:

thanks. It got worse even, because when I registered my own shock and surprise at the comment, another joker came on and said I should have known he was joking cause he mixed caps with little letters in his reply, which I was supposed to know was, "I'm just kidding" then added some people do this when talking to people who get their panties in a bunch...
WHAT?
All ll of that because I asked for feedback on the number of holes I drilled into the cooler to keep my guy safe.
on the other end of the spectrum, I belong to about six Doberman groups, and God forbid you screw up on these forums. You will get bit! Lol
-
I wouldn't have known what those mixed letters meant either...:rolleyes:

IDK, but a Google search brought up some interesting results :rolleye2:

I’m sorry I’ve been very ill, if you look in my pictures you can see my cooler and how I did it. Just two holes, that can easily be covered by a piece of tape if not retaining enough warmth during said situation. I even got a live animal sticker on it.
