Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

moving from nyc to florida-driving with snakes-suggestions
So I'm moving to Florida. Driving down. 25 hour trip to sw Florida. With me my passengers. 2 3 foot jungles. 6 foot long Brazilian rainbows. One foot long ij python. Babies. Keeping them all in tanks. Shouldn't get below 70 the whole way down. May make some stops for some power naps. Any suggestions is welcomed. Now for some more suggestions. I'm moving to Marco island. Beautiful weather year round. I plan on keeping the snakes outside in glass tanks and one home made enclosure of wood. I beleieve unless the temperature really drops below 65 ill never need to turn on any heat lights or pads. Natural light cycle. Natural breeding cycles? What do you guys think?

A tank outside in Florida can easily turn into a microwave and cook your animals. Just warning you.
As far as the drive, I'd pack all the snakes as if you were shipping them, into styrofoam lines boxes in "shipping bags". That way they are completely secure and you won't have to worry much about them getting too hot or too cold(car AC) and they'll be somewhat buffered from noise or jostling about. It'd end up being like being shipped by a private ground service.

When I moved from coast to coast, I kept my snakes in tupperware boxes, and depending on the amount of humidity they needed, a damp pillowcase was left in with them as well. I made sure not to park in the sun, and checked on them on a regular basis and they were fine. Outiside tanks in FL will kill your snakes, especially your rainbows that need lower temps. Too much sun, and it gets way too hot. It'll be easier to maintain humidity though!
