How far are you moving? If it's just a cross-town move, here's what I would do:


Take the snakes out of their enclosures and put them in bags (pillowcases can work for this, but turn them inside out) and make sure they are secured...then put the bags in a box or small tub that is fully insulated against bumps, so the snakes are snug and their bags won't slide around.

Then I would take the tanks (or whatever enclosures you use) as-is...and the boxes of snakes...over to the new house. Set the tanks up and make sure everything is working right...then put the snakes right back in. And I'd probably cover the tanks with a sheet or something to help "guard" the snakes from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the move going on around them.

If you're going cross-country, it's a little more complicated...
