Transporting snakes

Question
Hi!

Ill be moving house next week and would like some advice on transporting my two baby snakes, ones a corn and the others a red tail boa, both around 1.5-2ft long. The car journey is about 6-8 hours and naturally I don't want to cause them too much stress.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer
Place each in it's own pillow case-tie it tightly or use a zip-tie-then place the pillow cases in a box of some sort.  The box should be small enough that they don't slide around, but big enough so that they aren't on top of each other.  Keep the box in the passenger cabin of the vehicle you're traveling in.
