I never transported a snake, let along a Children's Python hatchling, for 7-12 hours, or possibility more... anyone know how I would do this with such a small creature?

In a cloth pillow case, in a stable temp. Not sure where in Canada you are or the weather out there.

So... do I place it in a cooler with a heat pad or heat packs then and drill a hole for the thermometer probe and seal it up? My only concern is that it will get too warm in the summer since it can spike up to 40+ C on some days.

I would be going from Calgary to Grande Prairie, which is a long trip.

Just asking since there isn't a company I trust with parcel delievery, and airliners are initating decling all live shipments.
