I am moving from california to tx and am transporting 2 adult and one young Ball pythons. What is the best way to take them on the move? So they are safe and less stress. Hope you guys and girls can give me some good tips. Thanks Thomas

Being that it is summertime.....you can place them into a pillowcase and then into a rubbermaid/sterlite container with locking lids and they should be fine without needing any extra heat. Everytime you stop for gas/lunch/whatever.......check on them. That's what I did when I moved from OH to FL in '01.

Agree with above. Just wanted to emphasize to make sure the temperature is under control (on the cool side if anything) as much as possible. Don't leave them in a hot car and become another statistic.

also, you should probably try to give them water once in a while as the trip will most likely be a few days... I'd recommend providing a smal water dish for the night and remove the water dish during the day while traveling.
