I am moving across the country. I need to know how to take my dragons. I'll be flying and driving. If I fly them..how do I do it? We will be in flight w/layover around 8 hours. If I drive them how do I keep them? The trip will be around 4 to 5 days long. Any suggestions on how to keep them warm? What about stress? I'll probably have to drive them because of flight regulations and the fact they might charge me $80 a piece to carry them on. How can I keep down the stress for 5 days of transport? Should I ship them?? I am helpless. I couldnt bare to give them up.

They are juveniles. Probably 3-5 months old. Very healthy and happy..would like to keep them that way.

Do you have family or a friend who would be willing to pack them up in styrofoam insulated boxes with heat packs if needed, and ship them to you once you get to your destination and settle in? This is what I personally would do if I was in your situation. I think if you could do this this would be your best bet as they will be traveling 24 hours straight to you there instead of the 4-5 days on the road. Just an idea, and I'm not sure how flying with them would work. I never had to make such a move. Good Luck though. I hope maybe someone else can give you more detailed instructions on flying with them, or how to make it easier on them to drive 4-5 days.

I agree. It would be much better on them to just go through one quick shipment.
