I have a turtle tub...it's a big plastic tub with a built in screen in the lid. I got it at the pet store...but it wasn't cheap. I use it for transporting. Any plastic tub would work. If you could drill air holes in...that would be even better...but shouldn't be a problem without them for your short trip. One tip that a member told me about is to make sure you put a label on the container that says "Non-venomous Garter Snakes". So, if God forbid, you were in an accident...you don't have the police calling animal control to confiscate your "dangerous" snakes. I keep labels on all my tanks in my house too...since we have to have paramedics coming all the time for my father who is ill.
