I have quite a few concerns as it gets closer and closer to my.moving date. Of course I have to take my scaly friends with me! We're all familiar with the risig temps and I'm concerned about the safety and wellbeing of my reptiles on the trip down. So I'll go ahead and list my questions and concerns and then provide some info on my babies.
They will be in the car for about 24 hours total, give or take a few. (About half way through the trip we will stop and stay with some family for about a week and then resume driving.) Most of us are aware that once the car is off, it doesn't take log to he. back up again. And during the drive down the AC will be on constantly. Is there a way I can keep their temperatures constant and comfortable? Im also worried about their sanity. I read somewhere that they are very sensitive to vibrations and the constant bumps and roars from the car will freak them out. I can get foam to help insulate them. Which leads to another question. What do I put them in for the travel? Tupperware containers? How should I adjust their feeding schedule? How do I supply them with water on the road? How can I make them the most comfortable?
Now I have two snakes I need to transport. (I've posted about one of them before if you'd like to check those threads out. He's doing much better but still has some scarring. Is there a herp lotion or something I can apply to the area? It always seems dry) for the ballpython I'm not sure how old he is but he's probably close to two even though he's on the small end. My cornsnake is almost exactly a yearling. They are fed once a week alternating between one and two pinkies a week for the corn and one and two adult mice a week for the ball. If you have any questions I'll try and answer them as best I can and I really appreciate any help with making these scaly balls of awesomeness as comfortable as possible.
