Moving during a shed

[Lirenn]

We are moving from SC to VA in a week and, as I had feared, Lucy went into blue last night. Is there anything I can do to keep her humidity up during transport? Would sphagnum work? Are we just doomed to a bad shed?

We can't move any earlier because our rental won't be ready and we can't move any later because my husband will be shipping out soon after we arrive.

(She popped her head out to yawn and see how the packing was going.)

I don’t think it will not take effort, but I love sphagnum moss. Yes if you set it up right it’ll be fine. Small tub, lots of moss, wet not damp. Good luck.

Usually for transport I have her in a pillowcase in the tub as I've heard it minimizes stress and a towel underneath for some padding. Should I skip the pillowcase this time?

I just hate that we have to have her in that little tub for 7+ hours.

No need for that, putting the moss in the pillow case would be an ideal way to achieve what you’re looking for.

The moss won't get too cold?

It shouldn’t get colder then you’re allowing the snake to get during normal transport? Correct? You should be fine, like I said ideally it should be great. Long as you watch the temps, you could always use a heat pack like the breeders ship with. Hope this helps.

@OP this is a good idea but be careful with this: don't allow the snake to come in direct contact with a heat pack as they get very hot and, like any unregulated hearing element, can be dangerous.

Great advice Taylor, I assume sometimes they already know. Great job. An Op, good luck!

Thanks! It's the South so we're already in the mid-80s.
