I use a 5 gallon bucket with a lid from Lowe's (I imagine any hardware store will have them). I drilled holes in the lid for ventilation, and I usually throw in a bit of substrate and a hide so they can chill and not be stressed.
Plastic container with wheels which is normally used for storage (I drilled holes in it for oxygen). It’s filled with the substrate I stopped using in the main enclosure. Also I put hides and other decoration in there that I currently don’t use in the main enclosure.
Into the bucket of shame. He’s getting big though, so I’ve had to place a lid on it.
He has air holes and is never in there for more than 20 minutes, and I usually put his hide in there too.
Tbh I just hold mine. But then I haven’t had to do a full clean and substrate change yet so idk. If I’m cleaning each hide and item, I’ll just take it out, shut the enclosure, clean it and put it back
I kept the 9L r.u.b that was his hatchling home. It's just big enough to use as a travel tub, or when I'm cleaning the viv (with some of the old bedding and a hide). They're secure, fairly cheap, and useful storage the rest of the time for viv bits and pieces.
I put mine in a small plastic enclosure thats meant to be used to home smaller reptiles/large insects permanently. He’s on the small side so it works fine for half an hour
I put my guy in a pillowcase and put him on my bed he usually just chills when he is in it or I put the pillow case he is in inside a large critter keeper but he is also not full grown yet
We have clear plastic SmartStore- boxes. The lids lock in place really well, and I've made holes in them for airflow. When deep cleaning the tanks, the snakes are in them.
Really useful to have for transportation too, in case we need to take them to a vet, or as (very) temporary enclosures if their vivariums were to become unusable for any idea. We have one for each of our snakes.
I have a big plastic bin with a locking lid

Here it is without the lid. I also feed them in it.
My guy usually chills in my shirt (either in my bra or in my pocket if I’m wearing a hoodie) example picture

Mine has a specific pillow case he likes to sit in on the bed! It’s not special it’s just special to him. Calms him down immediately also if he gets spooked while out of the viv lol
In his tube on my bed. The guy does not care as long as he is tubed. I used to use a small carry box meant for fish but he's waaay too big now.
It makes me really happy that your guy can just be in a tube chilling 😂
the little man is too occupied tubing to even notice he has changed scenery
I’ve gotta try the tube method. My dude loves his tubes in his enclosure.

I keep him around my neck or one of the kids hold him.
In his old smaller tank, affectionately referred to as snake jail

I put her in a hide on the table next to my partner while he is gaming so he can keep an eye on her haha
I put her in a bath (she’s in a bioactive so I only have to do a big clean once a month or less) in other words she gets jail time

What does viv stand for
Vivarium
Thank you!!
I use a small aquarium with spagham at the bottom, then put her in a pillowcase in the aquarium, then weight the lid
I usually put mine in a carrying bag in a cardboard box with her heat clipped to the side

I have a small travel tank I put him in.
I made a temp tub out of a 15qt latching bin from target
Mine always likes to sit in my hood and observe while I clean or do chores

I make sure I have people about to help keep an eye on him but I let him wander if he wants to, or he'll stay on or about me
Not a corn snake but I have my partner hold my Leo while I’m cleaning

I use her travel carrier for when we go to the vet :) put her in with some paper towels and a hide and she doesn’t mind too much.
If its a quick clean, ill just let him crawl on me. A more deep clean though, I'll put him in a pillowcase and keep him nearby

I use a document box. the ones I use are about big enough to hold a full reime of printer paper. very strong, good lid

A big tub with a lid and a few air holes with some warm water coving the bottom.
I use her travel viv (just a small version of the viv she's got)

I have a sterling tub I use for traveling with her that I put her in when I do anything that needs her to be out of her tank.
On my head. I put my hair up in interesting styles for him to wrap around. He also likes my glasses
A tote with a lid that we made airholes in on the couch/chair, or one of us holds whoever is getting their enclosure cleaned
Around my neck

Rubbermaid tub. I have 13 of them that I have had to use twice to evacuate. Fires are a bummer, but those tubs come in handy.
Mine has a specific pillow case he likes to sit in on the bed! It’s not special it’s just special to him. Calms him down immediately also if he gets spooked while out of the viv lol
i have a rubbermaid container i use for both my snakes whenever we clean their viv’s
i also add a pillow case so they have somewhere to hide.
