http://www.mcmartinville.com/chris/reptiles/trips/equip.htm; look for the NM link on the right.

If I were you, I'd write to the NM fish&game folks and see if you can get a letter sent NOW, to your current out-of-NM address, acknowledging your current slate of captives and permitting you to bring them to NM. You may have to get a statement of health from a veterinarian.
