Python Transportation

pythonnewbie Aug 01, 2003 05:31 PM

I am picking up a new baby ball on Monday. This will be my first ball python. What should I use to transport it and how long can it stay off heat while traveling? What is the best method of bringing my snake home. Also, is it better to use a heating pad, a lamp, or both?

tomorrow I am taking over 100 snakes to a show.......

and being too cold and off heat is NOT a worry

they will be in a styrofoam box(inside their deli-cups)...and they will need the air conditioner running so that they do not cook in the heat..........

where do you live?????????

it's 85 degrees and 90% humidity here.......they are fine......cars can heat up and kill...

if it's 70 to 85 they are ok
