Looks like we'll be moving via uhaul across country. How can I make sure sweets makes it to our new home safe? How long before I move should I feed him? We're moving from Illinois to Colorado. I'm not sure how long this move will take. Thank's in advance.
 
:wavey: These might help...

I would agree with not feeding for a MINIMUM of 72 hours, just to make sure they don't stress too much during the trip. When you get to your destination, I'd give them at least 3 days to settle in before trying to feed them (much like you'd do with new arrivals).
As for container, like the above posts state, pretty much anything that your snake will feel secure in, and that will protect from any unnecessary 'jostling' during the trip. Also keep in mind to watch for fluctuations in temp. It may be comfy for us in a nice air-conditioned car, but may be too cold for the snake....
Hope this helps? Good Luck! :cheers:
 
Make sure you never leave your snake in the car unattended, and don't leave the container in the sunlight. It will get much hotter in the container due to the sun's rays (here in Colorado there can be snow on the ground, but if the sun is out, the inside of a car will be quite warm).

What part of Colorado are you moving to, anyway?
