Gtp

[Brandon Osborne]

once a gtp is on a perch its on there . unless the snake has some kind of neuro problem, or bad equilibrium ,it will keep it comfortably on the perch .
the less stress the better and the most stress easing for a GTP is coiled on its perch ..

but again like i said everyone has their own way of doing things and their own opinion . my way has worked for many years without problem as im sure your way also has same outcome . i offered a way that works well cause he asked for help . hes heard both methods and he can choose which way he wants to do it .

I'm going to disagree with this as well. In my experience, transporting chondros on a perch tends to make them less stable. As with most snakes, when you are in motion, it makes the animals restless and chondros in particular are at risk of falling from their perch or damaging the vertebrae from holding onto the perch. If this was a short trip, I would agree with your idea. Being that it's an hour, I would recommend a SMALL tub with no perch. Something round so the chondro can coil. I would not place a small chondro in a bag, but I would also not allow the access to a perch while traveling either. Loose paper towels as filler and substrate, in a Glad food type container, inside a cooler.
