Matty and HannahB have given you great advice on transporting your new corn Andrew.
One thing you need to double check though....you say you are getting the whole viv set-up complete - do you know what that includes? The only reason I ask is that when I bought Kellog (and didnt know enough about corns  ) I was told that it was a full set-up. I didnt go with my OH to collect him and when they got him home I found he was in a viv with a heat bulb with no guard, 2 dial thermometers stuck halfway up the viv's wall and one hide....that was it! I was not happy and had to then leave him like that for a week before I could start making the changes necessary....although that did mean I could get the vital equipment like a heatmat, stat, digital thermometer and another hide. He had lived in the same viv since he was a baby, with those conditions.
So just double check what you are getting so that you can pick up any extra bits and pieces before you collect your snake.

i put mine in pillowcases with a towel underneath to give them a bit of padding in the box, a week to settle in like Matty has said will help - no feeding no handling just regular water changes  |

I would put the snake in a pillow case and then into a plastic tub with good ventialtion. Then put that infront of the passenger seat on the floor.
Once the snake is home leave it alone for a week. |
