I have to do a 12 hour drive to stay with my family for a couple months I am going to bring my BTS with me of course and was wanting to know how to travel with a baby BTS. I have a small travel cage that I can use but should I use that or just let her travel in the full tank (which I am bringing). What about heat? Please let me know soon. :D :helpme:
This is my first BTS and first reptile so please be patient with me and give me all the knowledge that you want I am here to learn.

If the car will be warm / running then I wouldn't worry about heat. Just don't feed for a couple days prior, put them in a tupperware type tub / travel cage with towels and you should be fine. You can offer some sort of heat, but if the car will be warm I just wouldn't worry and wouldn't feed them for a few days before hand. If the outside temps are warm enough, it will be fine even if you stop for a couple hours for food etc. on the way.

I would keep her in something smaller than her usual home, with nothing hard that might move around. Towels work well for burrowing and keeping them feeling safe.
