If you dont plan on bringing the whole setup, then what are you going to house him in once you get there ??? What do you plan on housing him in for those 2-3 days ??

When i transport my snakes, i put them in a small rubbermaid with air holes drilled in the sides and then i put the rubbermaid in a pillowcase.you can either do that or put the snake in the pillowcase and then put it in the container, either way works but actually being in the pillowcase i think makes them feel more close and secure.
