Hello, I have my boy going in for an exam (he's showing signs of MBD and hasn't been eating to get the vitamins, he has proper lighting etc...) I'm concerned. Thus I have him in for this Thursday. It will include a fecal and a full exam at a Vet which I have heard great things about from the reptile community in my area (though none of them have chameleons... so we shall see what I think). But what I'm wondering is about the ways I can reduce the stress on him during transportation. I've made a little tote-thing that has a fake plant in it, and that will be easy enough for me to carry, and it to be secured in the car via seat-belt. It has partial ventilation (top) and the rest is plastic.
But for HIM, I'm wondering if a blanket would be good to cover the sight of me while driving, any other animals that might be in the vet clinic while I'm waiting... but as the blanket would be laying on the top, I'm worried about ventilation... and I'm just generally very worried!! It's the first time he will be leaving this house since I brought him home. Is it easier to just wear some rough clothing and rope and have him out on my shoulder? If I transport him via tote, should I let him out and climb around if, of course, there are no threats (like other animals) around?
