    Re: SOS!! Serious problem, Need help Please!

    Oh I did consider it, even though I would really miss them. The thing that keeps me from doing so is the time limits. Snakes can sell in days if you're lucky, but more often in weeks or months...and we don't have that time. It's actually easier to just plan on taking them along.

    And regardless of whether the snakes are with us or not...stopping at motels is still currently out of our budget. But we'll be trying to sell quite a bit of stuff to make up for it.

    Personally, I think they'll be fine for 3-4 days. Mine were!

    When we moved from Texas to Arizona, my fiance's company paid for a moving service to move all of our stuff. So I packed most of the critters tupperware containers and had a spray bottle to mist everyone down. The animals that came with us included a Shih Tzu, a Green Cheek Conure, 5 bearded dragons (most of these guys were in small dog carriers), 3 chameleons, 2 leopard geckos, and 12 snakes. We drove to Arizona in one straight shot in 15 hours. The plan was to stay in a hotel one night until our stuff arrived the next day. Well our landlords-to-be decided they couldn't afford to have renters, so they backed out on the deal. So we were now homeless in a brand new state with our stuff on a truck somewhere. Very scary! Took us 3 days to find a new house and finalize all of the paperwork. I ended up buying some worms at a Petco nearby to feed the lizards. But every day I would open up each animal mist it down lightly. I also had spare paper towels with me in case anyone needed a cleaning. Only 2 did.

    But everyone made it! Just make sure everyone is getting air and they'll be fine. During stops, I would just open up each one quickly (most big truck stops have places to the side to park to let your dogs out) and mist as needed. You'll be fine.
