    Moving!

    So my collection ( 5bps, one boa and a corn ) are moving at the end of the month. I've got everyone's travel set ups ready and know the local laws and yadda yadda, but the thing that concerns me is the temps. I'll be doing my best to keep everyone at the temps they need to be but they are going to be in the car for about 8-9 hours. So far it's looking like the temps are going to be in the 60's.. obviously it'll be warmer in the car.. but will everyone be alright if they get a little chilly for a bit?

    Re: Moving!

    I worked for a company that did wildlife education one summer, and we moved from fair-fair over California. Our snakes did just fine on the road even when the weather was getting chilly, of course we did have temperature monitors in the trailers as well, but they should be just fine in the car with you.

    If you are afraid about temps in your car simply have them pack in snake bags that you place in Styrofoam lined boxes or Styrofoam cooler and use a shipping heat pack (it will keep them warm the whole way)
