What would you do?

I am moving cross country from CA to NC in about a week and need to figure out the best way to either ship my 5 RETF's or bring them with me in the car. What would you do? I found an animal hospital to board them if need be but the shipping may present a problem. Would it be possible to travel with them in the car? I suppose the temperature and humidity wouldn't really be a problem since I could mist them from time to time. Any advice?

I would just bring them along. Just keep the temporary enclosure covered and moist, and they should be fine. Don't bother them, and they will probably sleep the whole way. Actually, you could put them in a few days beforehand so they get used to it if you really wanted to be careful, but they should be just dandy without it. If you ship them, you always risk them getting manhandled, which could be pretty stressful.

Good luck with your move!!

Well that makes me feel better, I was worried about shipping them. I would rather just take them along.
