Help with snakes

Sarah Miller Jul 21, 2004 05:18 AM

Hello,
I am about to move around five states away, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any way I could transport my snakes and lizards safely? Shipping them is out of the question because of the price. Any help at all would be appreciated...I don't want my "babies" to suffer any damage!
Thanks.

Are you flying or driving?

If you are driving, just bag them up and put them in an icechest in the car. Keep the snakes and lizards separate so there aren't any "incidents" en route.

If you live somewhere in the northeast with those little tiny states (you can drive through five in less than a day), it should be no issue. If you live in the central/west where there are real states that take most of a day to travel through, then you have to do some planning about temperature control (ziploc bags with a few ice cubes can keep an ice chest cool enough).

If you are flying, you are going to have to ship them or find someone to drive them.

We're driving...and we're driving from Texas to South Carolina, which is around 850 miles.
