I'm flying the nest LOL, will be moving in the next couple of weeks. Where im moving to is only half an hour away from where i am now. Whats the best way to move my two lizards? Should i move them first or my belongings? Want to cause little stress as possible, i also have other pets to move. God its gonna be crazy. I'm dreading it, my chameleon doesn't fit in the carrying box any more, she's getting a big girl. :p Would a cardboard box with some branches in be ok for her? I'll have Mia on my knee the whole time, my other lizard fits in the carrying box so thats not a problem, he's a crested gecko. I also have a Chile rose would a cardboard box be ok for him too? I really must buy some proper carrying boxes i know. Any help would be great.
 
I would move my belongings first and leave the animals in their enclosures until the very end. I would move them late in the evening and first I would put them in the carry box and make it very dark so they go to sleep. Then I would move and set up their enclosures in the new place and put them in while they are still sleepy and keep it dark. That way they aren't going from day to dark then back to day.
 
I have a similar situation in about a month, except I'm moving three hours away! I'm basically going to do what Donna just suggested. I'd rather make one trip with all my furniture and then another one with all my animals, even if it does mean driving a billion hours lol.
 
Hi, ive jst moved from Sunderland to Chester, (nightmare) lol and I had a smaller 5' tank, which I had to take on a trailer, With my cham Kev in a big crisp box in my car and send the rest of my junk on in a hire van! Talk aobut a hassle, but it ws worth it for the long drive, but for a shprt one I agree with draetish, the extra runs will mean haappier animals! lol
 
oh, and remember to make sure your new flatmate is ok with the other smaller guests lol, i frgot to mention Kev ot mine, he was bricking himself when I brought him out lol
