    Re: Traveling stress?

    If you put a towel over the tank it'll be dark and less scary for them, I can imagine. 10 days is more than 7, and in my opinion, a few days longer can be more stressful for a snake. My baby Specks, who prefers worms, pretty much lets me know that he's hungry again a day or two after feeding... He likes to bite quite a lot. He's a sweet natured baby, but if he's hungry he doesn't care

    Re: Traveling stress?

    How should i take them? In the cage? There would be stuff bouncing around...

    In separate container?

    Not unless you mean the 10min car trip from Scotts place to mine

    Why would it matter if it was loud?

    Haha i love those guys. I gotta get one!

    My flame is like that, even if he's not hungry. He's sweet and calm, but if you lift his hide, he's likely to greet you with a copperhead impression

    lol I guess that was kind of unclear I was thinking like music and stuff or just a really busy atmosphere in the car. My snake reacts to bass beats kind of like he would react to heavy footsteps or something falling down beside his cage. They freak him out.

    Also, I was half asleep when I wrote that and the fact that snakes can't hear was hidden somewhere in the back of my mind
