I drove from Cali to Florida with four of my snakes. I put each of them in there own rubbermaid(small enough to make them feel snug and secure)with lots of bedding to make them comfortable and put hand warmers under the bedding. When we would make a hotel stop I would give them a bowl of water. It took five days to drive and all of them faired just well. They all ate the day after the trip. Did'nt seem to stress them.
