    Transporting a ball python

    So my snake is going to the vet today for a checkup. Never had to take him anywhere before. Any tips on how to transport. I have a small tub I use when I weigh him. Would a pillow case or something be good to put him in?

    Transporting a ball python

    Pillow case is fine, I've put them in pillow cases and a tub when transporting. tubs been more to keep them from rolling around an I feel bad carrying them in a suspend bag.

    Pillow case + tub or an insulated box.

    That should do it

    You can leave the AC on, as long as you aren't exposing your snake to temps 65 and below it will be fine. The tub should also help insulate.
