My GF and I take in reptiles from people who can no longer care for them properly. We stopped doing this recently in prep to moving from Los Angeles CA to PA. We liquidated all our extra housing and supplies for the reptiles. All we have now are our own private collection. We are planning on taking them with us in sterilite containers when we drive to PA. The problem is that a lady just dropped off three red tail boas. We couldn't turn them down. She was either giving them to us or the pound. I can't stand seeing them inthe pound. They are easily within our ability to take care of. What I'm worried about is the move. We have some specialized housing that we had made up for our snakes for the move. It's running off an inverter in the jeep to keep it heated and cooled at around 84 degrees. There is no more room in it for more snakes and the maker can't have another one ready for at least a month. We are leaving in a week and a half. Do you all think it would be ok to transport them in sterilites with holes in the roof? We would have to keep track of temps in the sterilites. Can anyone recommend any digital thermometers that have a probe so we could keep the probe in each sterilite and keep track of temps in them? We will have to keep the temp regulated by the actual AC and heat heat in the jeep. It will be a bit uncomfortable on us, but survivable I'm sure. It's the snakes I'm worried about. Any and all suggestions would be MUCH appreciated. For info, the inverter will not handle any more than we have, tho we could get a larger inverter if we need to extra heating. Have a great day all.
