Wow that is remarkably generous of you to offer to help pretty much a total stranger in such a way. Thanks.
He is currently with me in Madison, WI, will be spending the summer in Chicago (as I'm going to be out of the country again), and could easily make it back to my parent's place in Milwaukee, WI. I won't actually be moving until the beginning of September, and there is still a chance that I might decide to drive. I'm just trying to be on top of this since I'm going to be gone all summer.
Aside from the obvious joke, why don't they allow snakes if they do allow other reptiles on planes?
