What would you do?

Just how am I going to do it lol? I move house on Friday I have 3 snakes not in quarantine, 2 in quarantine, and 22 babies, I only have 1 van and doing 1 trip about 2 hour journey time. All vivs and house furniture will be moved by a removals company that won't take live on board.

1 my male boa has been in quarantine since 02-19-13

2 My burm has been in quarantine since 04-29-13
None of the snakes have shown any sings of ill health.

Here is my plan if I missed anything or you have a better idea please share.
I think I am going to put all the snakes not in quarantine to the front of the van then drape a towel over them. Some how divide that half completely with a sheet of mdf then divide the rear again with mdf put the snakes in quarantine to the rear 1 each side and again drape a towel over them. They will all be in rubs with nothing else in there and the babies will be in little round deli cups and put into a crate to stop them sliding around. The weather here is hot at the moment so I plan to set of about 19:00 So it shouldn't be so stuffy inside the van.

Thanks Mark

At three months with absolutely no health concerns/mites etc i would risk it personal,y and lump them all in without worrying.

I would put crumpled up papers or something in there to help make the trip less bumpy. Plus this will give them some thing to hide in or under helping with stress.With the babies something like a sock would work great. They would be able to get in the sock and feel safe.

Cheers guys.

Chuck that's a good point didn't cross my mind.

I guess I don't need them in quarantine when I set them up in the new snake room? Cant wait to have them in a room dedicated to them I will post pics when all sorted.

Re: What would you do?

Yeah your right it is. I am moving to Ledbury, Herefordshire. Lived there before it's nice, and quiet. Had a few reasons for moving but not going into that.

Getting closer to my bro and London zoo

Re: What would you do?

I can locate food not a problem.

If I need any equipment I will just order online seem to get some good stuff for next to nothing if you shop around, free adds, papers etc.
