Moving during a shed

[tttaylorrr]

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

it's always best to err on the side of caution.

Snakes actually travel very well...don't worry about 7+ hours on the road. But I do recommend that you use a secure snake bag (or pillow case) inside of
an "ice chest" or styrofoam box, to keep her temperature stable. Remember that sun coming thru the windows can bump up the temps too high while you're
busy & distracted, and depending upon your vehicle, be aware that sometimes the under-insulated floor can heat up excessively & harm a snake too, especially
if it's not in an insulated chest. Sphagnum moss is a winner! By all means include it. Good luck with the move. I've traveled for 3 days in a car full of snakes,
a half-grown dog, and a small rodent colony of rats, mice & hamsters. "Piece of cake"!

Dang, good job! Haha.

I keep her on the passenger seat when I drive, and I was going to bring her thermometer into the car with us.

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.

When snakes are shipped overnight, they're in a pillowcase in a box for at least 14 hours, so it's all good! Just treat it as a shipped snake.

And yes, he should still be in a pillowcase in a secure box/tub for 7+ hours, minimizes stress and they won't get jostled about.

Looks like most of your bases are covered. Soooo....good luck with the move!!

Apparently little miss just wanted to stress mama out, haha. She went ahead and shed just hours before the move. I even got to watch a little!

And it was a good thing too. We didn't end up being able to move in yesterday, so she spent a day living in a tub.

Looks like all's well despite the delay.

She's really a trooper.
