Rusty,
My first choice would be to sack the snake then contain it in either a bucket with a twistable lid,( Can be purchased at PetMart Stores) or a trap box/tackle box of sorts that can be locked w/ a padlock. On the containers make sure they have plenty of vent holes but not to large to allow a fang to possibly get through. Also make sure the snakes are not left in a hot/cold car, near the exhaust pipe, or on the floor. Some floors of cars can get excessively hot when traveling long distances. Be sure to check local laws concerning transporting venomous species/dangerous animals through their states. Hope this helps.
Later,
Todd

Depending on where you are there may be laws that apply.
This is the Florida Statute that caught so many people by surprise at the Daytona Show:
372.90 Transportation.- - Poisonous or venomous reptiles may be transported only in the following fashion: The reptile, or reptiles shall be placed in a stout closely woven cloth sack, tied or otherwise secured. This sack shall then be placed in a box. The box shall be of strong material in solid sheets, except for small air holes, which holes shall be screened. Boxes containing poisonous or venomous snakes or other reptiles shall be prominently labeled “Danger - - Poisonous Snakes” or “Danger - - Poisonous Reptiles.”
I would say check whichever state you are in and especially any state through which you will travel.
