How do people transport their snakes?

Insulated box or a cooler with some warm water bottles or 1 heat pack with the snake in either a deli cup or a pillow case that's been tied properly depending on the size of the snake. Holes in the top of any container will let any heat escape immediately. Better to put 1 or 2 small holes in the side or none at all since respiration rates are so slow with these animals.

Looks like I may have to re-drill the holes on the side and seal the ones I put in the lid. I didn't really think of the heat escaping until after I'd set the totes up. I was concerned the snakes wouldn't have enough air since the totes have a gasket. I did put towels over the snakes last trip for more insulation and was thinking of gluing some of the foam used on the bottom and sides to the top as well.
