Talking Snakes on a train !

I'm looking at buying an IJ python. My only hurdle is geting down to London and back from Manchester to collect.

I've cared for snakes before but never had to transport them.

Will it be ok to travel by train ?

Any tips on housing whilst on the move ?

Thanks. Chris.

Either that or you could always use Reptile Taxi or Gremlin Rides or a similar service to do the travelling for you

you can get heat pads, the things you click in the middle they react and get warm. chuck one of those in they last a couple of hours.

Could always find the buffet car and just casually rest your pillow case near the hot lamps
