How I moved my blueys across the state

Postby Kurt » Sun Sep 07, 2014 9:57 pm

This weekend I moved into a new place, about 5 hours hours south of Portland. I put my guys in shoebox size containers with paper towels. They sat shotgun in the u-haul. When I got to my hotel I brought them in and gave them a bit of heat with a small UTH for a couple hours before bed. Got the keys to my new place today and set their tanks up as soon as I could.

They are good looking skinks. :)

I have traveled cross country with reptiles a few times and never had any issues. I used a similar set up to you, although I had a LOT more critters to move, including our 9ft boa once!
