transport question
My columbian rainbow has a vet visit today...she has an RI...what is the best way to transport her for a 1.5 hr drive? conditions are cold and windy (had to reschedule appt time due to roads closed because of icy conditions)...should i put her in a pillowcase like the store did when i bought her? or would she be more comfortable for a long drive in a cat carrier?

Re: transport question
thats what i figured...thanks so much!! i feel bad pushing her appt back to this afternoon but i'm more concerned over being held up at a closed road, or worse yet, wrecking...what would EMS to if they found a 4 ft boa in a wrecked car? so many ppl are petrified of snakes...i worry what they would do to her...

Re: transport question
another question...since she is so dehydrated, will the heat from the car heater be too dry for her? is there a way to help her humidity for the drive?

Re: transport question
Maybe put a damp face cloth in the pillow case.

Re: transport question
do you have any heat packs?

Or you could heat some water in a water tight container or bag and place it in her box/crate..etc that you will be carrying her in.
