the main thing is to not leave a lid open so anything that secures down a lid like a sterilite tub would work. They won't try and push open like some terrestrial snakes so as long as the lid is in place and not loose on it will be fine.

Now of course you want something that will contain him but be big enough so you are not trying to reach in on top of him. They are fast with the bitey fangs but should be pretty mellow when transported. Just stick some paper towels on the bottom and place them in. I put a thermometer in so I can monitor the temps as I travel. It allows me to adjust the heater to keep mine around upper 70s to 80. I also carry a large towel to cradle it to keep it a bit warmer.


I hope I am not worrying you just want to make sure you start out in good shape. No different than taking a loved dog for a check up at the vet

Here is what I use but you might need a bit bigger depending on the size of your boy. Something like a 15 qt latching tub would work that you cna pick up anywhere like walmart or target

This is an example of the tub you may need

This is what I use




I recommend against a bag because well it already is going to be a pain to get them off the perch and into a bag then a vet tech to get it out of the bag and secured. They can weigh it in the tub then take out the snake, weigh the tub and subtract (that's what we do)
