Hello!

[jazzyo]

Apparently I need to post something here in order to be approved... So while I'm at it I might as well introduce myself. I live in Florida and am a college student. I don't own any snakes but I do have two cats. The only experience I really have with snakes is my boyfriend's ball python, Venus.

So why am I here then anyways?

I'd love to own a snake. I actually joined this forum to ask one question in particular... which I guess I can ask now, and if nobody responds I'll just ask in the general forum or something as originally planned-

So of course being a college student and wanting a snake aren't the most convenient things... so basically I was wondering how much transportation affects snakes stress-wise. If I was to get one, I'm looking towards a rosy boa (their size was a bonus as well, better to discreetly keep in a dorm room!). I'd probably take it back home in October/December/March during the longer holidays in which rooms are inspected, in addition to my initial coming and going in August and May, respectively. It'd be a 3 hour drive, almost literally a straight line the entire time, no bumpy roads. I'd make a separate plastic box container, with substrate and all, rather than lugging a glass one back and forth. But of course the added comfort is irrelevant if such frequent traveling would stress the poor snake out, which I certainly don't wanna do.

This is the main factor in whether I get a snake sometime in the next year or two, so if you could make some input I'd appreciate it!
