Sometime in the near future I may be moving from Arizona to West Virginia. I've read about ways to transport my python (styrofoam cooler, pillowcase, heat pack, and thermometer.) But I have a few other questions.
First would be, how necessary is the heat pack considering the outside temperatures this time of year? I would assume that he wouldn't even need one since its summer and I know Arizona and West Virginia are pretty hot, but I don't know about the states in between and how the temperature might change during the trip.
Second, I read some things saying that you shouldn't feed them for about two weeks before the trip. If that is the case then how soon do I feed him again after the trip?
Also any other tips for transporting him would be great.
