    I never had to travel for quite that long, but I always took the water dish and decor out and just seat-belted the tank into my car. Of course, I didn't have to worry about temps quite that much either... I'd say the main thing is to make sure no air is blowing on him in the car. Maybe cover him up so he can't really see out but still has a little ventilation.

    If you have a hand-held digital thermometer, it might be good to bring that so you can check his temps and add another hand warmer if they're getting too low.

    Yeah, our weather is all over the place right now. That's what I was originally thinking of doing. Strap the terrarium in, set up some heat, drape a blanket over the terrarium and go. But thought I better ask here first. You guys know much more about this than I do.

    I will be using my regular therm./hygrometer for the trip so I can monitor things. I'm completely anal retentive about my animals traveling. I bet you can't tell.
