Question about moving?

ballpython721 Jun 25, 2004 04:27 PM

Hello, i have a baby ball python and i am moving Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. The drive is about 9-10 hours from Florida to North Carolina. Right now the snake is in a 20 gallon tank. Would it be better to keep the snake in the tank? (and take the water out and other things that could fly around) or put it in a snake bag that i have with holes and put it in a box like the way they ship them? Also if i go during the day is it better to keep AC on in vehicle or off? I have never drove with one that long before, and would like to know the best method on bringing him with me. Thank You

Put the python in a bag and stow it under your shirt. The warmth and the humidity of your body will do well to the little snake. AC needs to be off.
