Re: worried about my snake after accident
Even when I'm taking enclosures to a show, I don't travel with the snakes in the enclosures because of the very possibility of what you experienced. I've always worried that the snake could get seriously injured by hitting the glass or by being squashed between hide or water bowl and glass, or if I'm in an accident, by broken glass. ACK! So I can really empathize with your worry after this happened!
I keep snake bags (pillowcases work) and use them for transport inside a plastic tub (like a rubbermaid tub). I know people who pack their snakes inside a small plastic tub not much larger than the snake coiled up, with a small towel for some padding (like a hand towel) and then pack the smaller tubs inside a larger one). They aim for something secure in which the snake can't get thrown around at all or at least very little if something happens.
Hope you and your snake recover from the fright!
