You can if it makes you feel better and if you chose to do so it is important to chose the right vet by picking a competent herp vet.
In the event you chose to do so I would recommend a fecal.
The key word here is really competent herp vet, some vets have a tendency to do things and prescribe thing that are not needed just in case and because someone brings them an snake for a check up and you definitely want to avoid that.
For the transport part the most secure and stress free way is to use a snake bag or pillow case (depending on the weather when I transport snakes I place the pillow case in a small styrofoam cooler to protect them from the cold when in and our of the car)
