I'm about to get my first BP and am excited! But the catch: I'm picking her up from a friend who lives about 8 hours away, so that's quite a drive! I've done some reading about best ways to travel with a snake, but I'm wondering if any of you have actual experience with this?

She's about 2.5-3 years old and is very tame. I'd read about putting her in a pillow case inside a tub that she fits in where she can touch the sides - with small holes in the lid. The trick to that is I'm not sure exactly what size she is and may not have time to go check her size and then leave to buy the tub. But maybe I could message my friend and see if she could help me out to figure out the appropriate tub size? I've also read about others that just put the entire enclosure with BP inside in the car and travel that way. What are your thoughts?

Also: How much do I need to worry about heat? It might be 10-12 hours between her leaving her enclosure/having her UTH to me being able to set it back up at my home with her UTH. Is keeping my car cab temp above 75 good enough? I may also need to be careful to keep her out of direct sunlight as that could be too hot?

Thanks for your help!
