Lija,

For reference, how would you suggest long moves be completed?
Some time in the future I may be moving 8-10 hours away from my current location and I believe the info could be helpful to others as well

it depends on a things like - how are you going to transport? what is the temp in a car ( if driving)! main question - can you put the tank in a car safely and maintain proper conditions ( temp and humidity) if the answer is yes, just go for it.

otherwise styrofoam box may be needed, i like it even if conditions are ok, styro will just keep it more stable. You put appropriate sized critter keeper with moist substrate and frog inside ( no dishes or no hides as they may shift and hurt the frog), use heat pacs if it is cold and i would put something in too so the critter keeper won't shift inside the box. If you are paranoid like me lol then you want to get a car adapter that you can plug regular appliances in and use heat cable with controller for the box have a misting bottle with treated water and just spray once in a while to maintain humidity.
