Tips for moving your snakes:
Bags and a foam cooler with a few holes in them. A day at less than ideal temps isn't gonna kill a reptile. Just make sure to avoid temperature extremes so if you stop in a hotel don't let the air conditioning allow the room to get extremely cold. Depending on where your going see how the weather changes from one state to another.
You keep the snakes in separate bags but you can put as many in the same cooler as allows them to not be forced on top of each other. You can buy a sheet of foam at the hardware store and cut out a square that fits inside the foam cooler and put some legs on it like a table so you essentially form shelves within the box that means you can put a few more in the box while not forcing the snakes to be laying on the other snakes. Make sure to place crumbled newspaper in there so their is cushion and they don't get thrown around every time you hit a pot hole.

The bags are pretty cheap and it'll keep poop off of your pillow cases. If you wanna use a pillow case though I won't judge you though lol.
As always have a few cool packs available just in case, use whatever thermometers you have and insert the probes in the boxes so you don't have to open them to make sure temps are fine.
Try and not stress out about it too much. Reptiles are very durable and as long as they don't drop below the 70 range or go over the 95 range for an extended amount of time things should go swimmingly. The main purpose of the foam coolers is to just avoid extreme temp changes that can happen. Good luck.
