Reducing Stress and advice

[kiwi3333]

hey guys!
Im taking Red for his first vet appointment tomorrow and i was just wondering if there was any techniques for reducing the stress of a small journey in his travel box on the little guy. i also wanted some advice on the things to ask and get checked so i make sure he's healthy and Im looking after him correctly. Thanks

Pack the box full of shredded paper, and keep it nice and dark. The less he can be jostled around in transit, the better he'll do, and keeping it dark will help keep him calm. Most of the time, if you keep it dark they'll just go to sleep, which makes the trip easiest of all.

Along with paper, If you can put a few twigs/branches in there, that'd be good. I know my Chameleon likes to have something he can grab onto and feel secure.

I a plastic per critter carrier with papertowels on the base, a few Manzanita twigs for the Chameleon to hold onto (They work great) and I put the carrier into a paper grocery bag which makes it pretty dark in there to reduce stress.

Good Luck
