There is a possibility that my husband's company will move him to England for our next foreign job assignment. Who do I talk to about bringing Snickers with me? Will they allow me to fly with her on the plane as long as I put her in a pillowcase? The flight is only a little over an hour from where we live now. How long will my poor little Nacho have to stay in quarentine? He has a passport and he has both the American and the German chips. He won't eat when we are not with him. I had one chihuahua starve herself to death in a kennel because they didn't listen to me. I don't want that to happen to nacho in quarentine.Who do I contact concerning these issues?

Your snake will not be allowed into the cabin with you. You will either have you use special transport services or put him in the hold. Your airline will be able to advise you.

OK, Thanks for that info. At least I know now that I can take her with me. I guess I'd have to get a heat transport thing to put with her so she will stay warm in the hold.

good news! theres no quarantine for snakes! I'm not sure about the rules for flying snakes over, but when you come over on a ferry with them all you need is a bit of paper to say you are the owner, and also something certifying its in good health (letter from vets i think).

your best bet is to contact DEFRA who will be able to tell you the official neccessities. http://www.defra.gov.uk

yes, the quarentine is for my dog. I'm worried about that since he's never been away from me when we didn't have a private baby sitter for him that he would eat for. I don't know how the quarentine works and whether they will let me visit him *daily* so he will eat.
