Will this trip be stressfull?

Im going to be getting a BP at a show next month but its a two hour drive. Will a two hour drive in the middle of July be too much for it?

You should be fine, we just got a ball and the car drive home was 1.25-1.5 hrs, and we didn't have any problems. Just make sure that if you have AC in your car, you wrap a blanket or a coat or something around the container with your ball in it, and if you don't have AC, make sure it doesn't get too hot in the car. Open the windows, and put something light, like a tshirt or a sheet over the ball's container, to keep the worst of the breeze off. Just make sure that the lid is on tight if you have the container covered where you can't see it!

good luck,

All good points. Also remember to be careful if you put the snake on the floorboard. The transmission often heats up the underside of the vehicle and could overheat your animal.
