I may be moving in mid/late July, and I have a Snow Corn that I would like to take with me. My concern is that I'm moving from Oregon to Montana and the route we'll be taking is through eastern Oregon/Washington where it'll be pretty warm. We will have a/c but I've never transported a snake that far. It's about a 10 hr trip total, and I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on how to move him safely? He's about 3 yrs old, 3 ft long, and in good health. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Move the snake in the car in a small icechest (no ice obviously). Keep it in the car and if it gets hot, put on the A/C.
If you stop to eat/get gas/etc., minimize the length of your stop, or if you can't, put a small ziploc bag with 1 or 2 ice cubes in the container with the animal while you are out of the car (which should be parked in the shade).
You shouldn't have a problem.
