The problem is, its an hour away(More depending on traffic), and I'm not sure how to keep my snake comfortable for that long of a trip. Any tips?

It'd probably be fine with just being in a container with air holes as long as the temperature is reasonable. When I've picked up my little ones, they usually had a slightly moist paper towel in with them that kept them from overheating and gave them something to hide under.

Sound advise.

Reasonable temperature isn't exactly the term I'd use for where I live at the moment. During the day it's anywhere from 30F to 60F. I'll probably just have to crank the heat up in my truck when I take him. Thanks for the info though, I wouldn't have thought about a moist towel.

If you have the snake in a container make sure it isn't in the sun while you drive - temp can rise rapidly.
Do you have a cool box? Just the box on its own will keep a stable temp. And make sure it can't rattle around in the box.

Cool Box? And thanks for the tip about the Sun, wouldn't have thought about that.
