    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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!
