The Midwest Reptile Show on April 15th is in Indianapolis, and I happen to have some Pacers Tickets for that same game. The Show is 10-4 and the game is at 3:30. Would it be detrimental to the any snakes I might purchase if I bought them and then went to the game, leaving them in the car for the approximate two hours it would be during the game and then the half an hour it would take to get there? Being April the temps shouldn't be too hot or too cold, but I certainly wouldn't want anything detrimental to happen to them. If I picked some up early I could always go home to take them back then head back to the game. I was just thinking about many of the herps that travel with their sellers or buyers for long periods to show or from shows or herps bought in the mail that may be kept in the process for a couple days. Just wanted to get some advice.

Would these snakes be ok?

Your BEST bet (especially since it's only half an hour away) will be to get to the show early and bring any live animals home before going to the show. Leaving live animals in a parked car is always a gamble, and I would always try to avoid it. Those sellers, traveling for perhaps hours with their animals, are keeping the climate inside the car pretty constant...using their heaters, cracking a window, etc.
You would have to be parked in an area where you were absolutely sure you were going to be in the shade the entire time you were at the game. The snakes would have to be in a cooler. And still, you'd be gambling a bit. My 2 cents. Duffy
