Transporting my corn snake from UK to USA
I am planning to go to the USA for some time and I would like to take my corn snake with me.
It's difficult to find information.
Is it possible to somehow take the snake on the plane with me?
If not, and I'm guessing not, what are my options for transportation?

I would be a bit worried about the temperature in the hold, as well as possible rough handling.

First, you will need a permit from the US Fish & Wildlife Service.
Second, you must fly into a designated port.
I don't believe any airline will let you transport a snake in the cabin. You would need to provide a kennel that is both escape-proof and humane for the animal, and put it in the hold with the other animals.
Personally, I'm getting tired of this.
