    Re: Moving a snake after eating

    Hi,

    As long as you re-adjust the thermostat to account for the temps in the new locationand the transfer is quite quick I'd think you would be ok. Set the new tank up as far in advance as you can to make sure the heating elements can get the reqired temps and then switch the snake between enclosures.

    I'm taking the tank in tomorrow after I get off work - I also work the 14 hour shift Wednesday so will be there to watch his temps as well
    No cage is too large - nature is the best template - a snoot can't be booped too much
