Transporting pythons

[Bryony]

thnx

I would think, this time of year, a pillowcase would be the go for the transportation side of things - no risk of overheating with this weather.

Then I'd put them straight into their enclosures, make sure they have hides, and leave them a lone for a couple or three days to let them settle in.

JMHO

Stick them in a bag and then put them in a setup cage when you get home.

 

[Bryony]

cool thanx guys i just wanted to double check

 

[zoe]

oh and always make sure the pillowcase is inside out

 

[NoOne]

Why?

 

[zoe]

lol was that to me noone?

 

[NoOne]

yep!

 

[Fuscus]

Turn the pillowcase inside out so that the python doesn't have to contend with all the loose bits inside.

 

[NoOne]

Are you serious? :?

 

[zoe]

wwweeeeelllllll i was always told to turn it inside out before you put them in cos they can get stuck in the stray bits of cotton or whatever that are floating around. actually we took our diamond to the vet the other week and i forgot to turn it inside out and he told me off lol

 

[zoe]

oops too slow lol

ya beat me fuscy

 

[NoOne]

Sticks,grass,trees,rocks,vines etc

 

[zoe]

they could easily get their head thru a small piece and get stuck there...a piece of cotton tight around sumthin isnt comfortable! :wink:

i just always assumed it was the norm to do...i've been advised by quite a few people! :? maybe not lol

 

[NoOne]

I can understand it with small snakes.
