is there a preferred way to place quick elapids in a portable box. I have a 4 ft monocled cobra I wish to try and trade for at the upcoming sc oct show. I've gotten him out several times when I first got him and put him in another cage for cleaning, but since I've gotten a hide box I never take him out. I guess I need to get a storage box from walmart to transport him in but it seems a little tricky to get in it and the lid on in a safe manner.

Hi Ian,
Hopefully someone who does this regularly will answer this, but my best guess is to cool the snake down a little (60-70) degrees F. This should make the snake more manageable, but by no means safe. You may have to use a/c if it's not too cool where your at.
Good Luck,
Steve

Use a 5 gallon compound bucket and a pillow case. Open the pillow case as a liner to the bucket and place the snake into the pillowcase. Use the lid to prevent the snake from crawling out of the bucket but do not seal it. Then pull the mouth of the pillowcaseover and around the lid and then turn the lid slowly so the twisted bag secures the snake into the bottom. Next remove the lid and pull the now twisted top of the bag over one edge of the bucket and use the lid to trap the lower part of the bag so you can safely tie it. Now transport the bagged snake in the bucket. i and many professionals have done it this way for years. Looking at the description it seems complicated, but it really isn't. Try it once with a non-hot and you'll see.
