That should work fine for a few days. Just make sure you have not fed them for about 4 days or more prior to going, that way there won't be any possibility of regurgitation from traveling, and they won't be as likely to be deficating in the enclosures soon afterwards either.



Also, make sure to melt or drill plenty of ventilation holes in the plastic enclosure as well.



I would put the brooksi in a very snug deli cup with aspen for transporting, then place it in the enclosure. Then put the Pueblan in a very desure cloth bag or pillowcase, then put it in the contain it will be in with the lid locked for extra measure. This always works great for me.
