Hi all.
Firstly i'd like to wish you all a happy holidays and safe new year.
Next week i am moving interstate and my question is regarding the freighting of my Coastal Carpet Python, Rosie. I have the wooden box, the shredded paper and the cotton bag. The box has 2 barrel bolts to keep the lid closed however my family were saying that they think it would be better if i had the lid screwed on. Their argument is that it will deter people from pocketing her, mine is so it will be easier for the person who is picking her up to get her out/so i dont have to spend 10 minutes screwing the lid on at the airport when she flys out (it is my understanding that they check the contents of the pet crates before they let them fly (?) )
My question to you is, what should i do? I dont want to have my snake stolen but i think screwing the lid on is unneccesary.
Thanks
