Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have a few animals I'm going to be moving with but the rest I know how I'm transporting them. All animals will be in the car with me and my kids and my mom. Most will fit in something small like a deli cup placed in a box so they dont move around. The iguana is the one stumping me as what to do. I bought her 3 months ago so she was big when I got her and to get her home they placed her in a huge box with bedding and breathing holes. Would that work again? I think that is kinda mean for a 7 hour drive though. What can I do?

well first of all make sure she is going to warm enough in there. but maybe you could take her out every once in a while and hold her in your car so she can stretch a little.

I'm going to use heat packs and have the heater on to make sure all animals stay warm. Her and the anaconda have to kept pretty warm I Know. I will prolly just stop at the rest stops put on her harness and let her roam some every coupld hours

we had a guy about 10 hours away wanting to get rid of all his animals- we picked up 4 decent size iguanas, as well as several LARGE snakes.
We used the med size dog/cat crates to move them, we just sat them on the seat behind us and they sat and watched us drive- we didn't have a way of 'letting them out to strech' as they all had tempers and we'd just gotten them.

they seemed to do fine with a 10 hour drive- they were crowded but ate like champs when we got them home....

i think yous would be fine in a box or crate...
