We are moving from Connecticut to California (LA) this summer. We are driving a pickup truck with a small trailer, and are taking a dog, 2 quails, my cornsnake, Argentine B&W tegu and BT monitor in the truck.
Any tips on how to do this?
I am planning on getting health certificates for everybody..my vet said she'd put all the small animals on one for free! While I may not NEED this,I think its a good idea just in case someone gives us a hard time.
As of now, We are planning to black out a small tank or rubbermaid container for the lizards during the daytime driving (for their "night" and give them UV, heat, and food at night (for their daytime cycle). Is this schedule change too drastic even if we switch them over, over the course of 3-4 weeks? Will they be able to get sleep in the car?
Will Ice bought at gas stations/mcdonalds be enough to keep a 7-10 days supply of frozen food be suffiecient.
I know there was talk of BT monitors being made illegal in NYC. Does anyone know if BTs, Argentine B&W tegus or corn snakes are illegal in any states? I tried to search online, but theres not a lot of comprehensive lists of illegal animals for states.
Any info or suggestions on the logistics for taking a tegu on a 7-10 day roadtrip are much appreciated!
