I'm moving my 5 ft spec. to a new bigger enclosure at a different location. My plan is to lower his temp to 55-60 for two days before making the move to keep him calmer and slow down his reaction time. I've owned him for 16 years, but haven't handled or moved him for the last 10 years. When making the move I'll tape his month and cover his eyes with a towel. Is there anything else I should do or keep in mind in making the move a successful one for both thr caiman and myself?

Rick
