Planes and snakes ?

[GarterGuy17]

So i'm going to visit my brother in Alabama for about ten days and I dont feel like neglecting jade of her food , is there any way to take jade on with me to my seat ? I dont want to put her as cargo because of the chance of getting lost and it being rattled everywhere. So any idea on how to go about this ?

You'll have to check with the carrier.

All I know is that I definitely wouldn't put her in cargo. I had a bad experience with my cats when they were kittens taking them on a plane in cargo. They made it out alive, but barely. I don't think an airline would allow a snake on a plane though. I just can't see them going for it. Hysteria and all that. You can't find anyone to watch her or feed her?

You could overnight fedex her to where you are going..

You could put a fake lizard in her tank and check her tank into cargo and stick her in your pocket for the plane ride if it's a short ride...just pray she doesn't get loose! Or poop!

Oh no Lol I'm not taking the tank I have a smaller container , not the one I had before I different one that I want and got today I would say about 6 inch all around 4 height. I could travel without her escaping no problem feeding , She eats food from my hand now so it is all about taking her over there.

I just don't know if the airline would let you carry a snake on a plane. Just the idea of a snake gets people weird and all. They probably have laws against it or something. Call them and ask.

My brother is handling the small details of the flight and carry on and I'm not sure since I have to make a stop and transfer to a smaller plane after which I dont think would be a problem on the smaller plane. Hopefully something gets worked out.

[EasternGirl]

Is he going to ask about the snake? The one thing you don't want to do is just show up with the snake and hope they let you on with her. I made that mistake with my cats. First they weren't going to let me on the plane...then they lost my cats! I'm not kidding...when they found them, they were dehydrated and covered in their own feces and burning up...they almost died. I really don't trust airlines with animals. Sorry...but I don't want anything to happen to Jade!
