I will be moving across the country in the summer. What should i do with the snakes (2) while they are in a 2 day car ride?

I would hold off on feeding them the week before you move.If it's summer you need to keep them cool and hydrated.For road trips i always use a an escape proof sweater box and a ton of aspen,its a good cushion.In the winter i toss a 12 hour hand warmer inside.In the summer you have to be real careful you dont cook them.Do not leave them sitting in a parked car for too long the heat builds up way to fast.It's also a good idea when you get to your motel to give them a little bath in lukewarm water to keep them hydrated.

Another option is have a buddy ship them to you after you reach your location and settle in...Paul.

I'm moving in the summer. Should I pack cool water bottles in with them to prevent over-heating them? I will be in an airconditioned vehicle. Thanks.
