Oh I hear ya...except I had to move my cages almost 1400 miles. In a large Penske truck.
Despite being near the back (last things loaded of course), there was still damage done to all BUT the tanks! How backward is that? Damage was minor - one BP cage had the plexi in the door split (repaired with hot glue), the hooks holding the doors shut got bent, and there were countless scratches in the wood. The big 4 cage setup for the corns got chunks gouged out of the side by the bed rails (which had shifted) and it lost two front wheels (luckily on the two corners, so the cage was still balanced).

So I know how aggrivating it can be moving snake cages. You have my condolences.
