Thank you! This is very helpful!
I like the idea about the hot water in the sock, or the hand warmer in the sock. I'm probably going to go w/ the handwarmer idea, and put it in a sock.
As for the rubbermaid container, I keep thinking to myself one of those really small, we're talking shoebox sized ones, which would keep him snug, or should I give him something a little bigger so he isnt smooshed into one spot? (He's about 3 feet, takes up a decent amount of room, so he could probably fill a shoebox).
Just trying to feel out what kind of container to use.

Also to the first one who replied, thank you for your insight, the drive is like 39 hours or something wild like that, so i'm sure it will be more than 3 days, and i'm going to have to map it out and make it fun in the meantime!

I feel better, thanks for the help! I'm traveling very lightly, selling most of my possessions, but when people ask I say well I still have my clothes, and my snake. haha.

Thanks!
