Are you going to send them by airpalne?Whats your place weather temp? And the weather temp of the place they are going to?How long they will be on board?I need more information to be able to help you.Domestic or international trip?

I traveled with my igs twice.Both short trips.First from Indonesia to Malaysia.Second from Malaysia to India.I didnt have any problems to accomodate them and they arrive perfectly well but it took me months to have all their papers in order.You know iguanas are CITES II and they require lots of papers to be authorized to travel from one country to another.

You really do have an awesome looking ig there. I though he looked great when he was orange, but he looks even better in that pic...

In general the airplanes have a special place for pets and that place is kept at a good temperature.I mean a temp appropriate for pets.The airports also have their own rules about cage's specifications. Each airport must have a different one i guess.Im not sure whether those specifications were set by IATA or not.In my case, i put all my 9 pets including 2 huges iguanas in wire coated cages.Each one had its own cage.I packed all the cages together in a huge card box with holes.I payed several hundred dollares because you pay by square meter not by kilo.
