Hey everyone! This is my first forum post here. I'm currently in Texas & moving north in a few weeks, and I need advice for moving my garden snail (Helix aspersa).

He's currently in a 10lb tank & hibernating in a log. I need to put the tank in a box, but I'm worried about him getting knocked around. Would I be able to put him in a container for the trip? It'll be a 15hr drive.

Anything helps, thanks!

Hello! You could buy a critter keeper or just a regular container with holes in the lid. Depending on the weather you won’t need anything, if it’s cold you may need a heat pack though. I hope all goes well!
