Transportation..?

[Seffers93]

Hey guys,
Sorry about all of the threads I've posted today. I feel like I'm getting kind of annoying. I'm just really worried about my cham and trying to get all of the information I can.
So the closest reptile vets I could find are all at least three hours away. Where I live, the temperature can be anywhere from 30 - 50 degrees during this time of the year.
How do I make my cham comfortable for a three hour drive??
I plan on taking him Monday.

Do you have an insulated box? If not one of the cheap styrofoam coolers from Walmart or target will work. Lacking any of those get a cardboard box, buy 1/2 inch sheet of foam insulation at home depot oe lowes. Cut six pieces to fit all six sides of the box. Get a Bo's your Cham will fit into standing up, and be able to turn around in. Do not get a monster size box so your Cham will get moved around in transit. Get a soft towel and a stick. Put the towel on the bottom, with thr stick stuck into the styrofoam right above it so your Cham has a place it sit. If you don't have regular reptile heat warmers get a bunch of the hand warmers at Walmart. Wrap one in newspaper and tape to the top of the inside of the styrofoam. Use as little tape as possible so the warmth get into the box. Set a temp gage into the box and check if the box is an ok temp. We are talking about 65 not basking and eating temp. Do all of this and check the temps today before you take your Cham tomorrow. I would assume your car would be 60 at least inside but it is winter there so be prepared.
