Taking my BP & RTB to meet my mom....Any advice??

[JakeThaSnake]

I plan on taking my baby BP to mom's house so she can meet my mom & my little brothers. What would be the best way to transport my BP? I heard a pillow case is good or inside a back pack. I was wondering if there would be enough air for the snake? And my 2nd question is can i put my BP and my baby RTB in the same pillow case? Any advice would be great! Thanks!

pillow cases are fine.id seperate them

Yeah, separate is what I would do. Pillow cases are fine they will get air in them. I don't think I would ever put one in a backpack.

Another option is storage containers, like small sterlite containers, as long as they are not too big for the snake and there are not loose objects laying around.

Pillow cases are good; enough air passes through the cloth for them to breathe. Storage containers of an appropriate size so the snake is neither totally cramped nor rattling around in a big container are also good. When you evaluate whether the snake is too cramped, remember how tight they like their hides to be. You'll need to make holes in the storage container.

For either one, make sure it is tightly closed so the snakes can't escape. Use separate containers for each snake. And make sure while you are transporting them that the temps stay within an appropriate range.

But, why transport the snakes? Can your mom and little brothers come to where you are? That would be much less stressful for the snakes.

Wait a second.

doesn't sound like a very good idea to take your baby ball python anywhere!!!! Assuming you somehow manage to keep all the temps right during the trip, you are still going to totally stress it out during the trip. Why wouldn't you have them come see the snake at your place for the benefit of the snake?

That said,

How far of a trip is this going to be? how long will you be there? what temperature range will you experience during this trip?

Need all these questions answered before we can acurately answer your question.
