Yeah, like I said no hard feelings. The poor guy/girl is just shaken from riding in a van with my friend who, quite frankly, has driving skills that leave me praying to whatever I can think of, up to and including the flying spaghetti monster. We did give him a makeshift hide, an old soda box with an opening big enough for him to get in. He fits in it well and seems to feel safe in there. I cleaned out the wet shavings, or the majority of them, and left him alone. I hate knowing he is frightened but hopefully with time he calms down and I see the snake that was in the pet store again .
