FYI, every summer I do a 4-5 hour "meet & greet" at our fairgrounds* with my friend & some of her snakes too: it's about a 5 minute drive from my house
also...I'd never DREAM of NOT transporting my snakes in ice chests...because...what IF you got a flat tire? or some other unforeseen delay? Also, IF your
snake happened to react badly (very unlikely, but if), they'd chill out far better in the ice chest. Most snakes don't love being bagged, just saying. Maybe
because it's out of the ordinary for them? *It's a "Wildlife Expo", with tons of exhibits & activities, really huge, and they counted about 3000 in attendance,
but even if it was smaller, I'd take all the same precautions. Never had any problems with my snakes, but I just want to keep it that way.![]()
