You are awesome! I was thinking of something similar (covered) or getting one of the critter keepers and covering it. Thank you. I plan to just kind of cover up my plants and keep everything else in her enclosure in place as it’s all secured and the same for her when we get there. I also have a medium size (I think) reptibreeze that I used for a couple months when she was a baby that I was thinking of bringing into the hotel for night time so she has the option to move a little.
So the one I got is 13 inches long by 8 inches wide and 11 deep. I liked this size because he was able to turn around in it and not be squished. I also like this one because it was a really hard plastic and strong lid. So I did not have to stress anything falling on it or pushing in on it. Our suv was pretty packed. I put multiple towels on the floor behind the drivers seat to ease the vibrations and then put him secured right behind the seat. I also got one of those window things for kids that helps reduce the sun for the back window on his side. I did not want to add the heat from the sun. Here are a few more pics with it covered. I use this still for if I need to take him to the vet or pull him from the cage to switch out plants.
You already have great help so I just want to chime in by saying, congratulations on making a great decision. I wish I was moving down there (I was born in FL and live in .....NJ...). Best of luck with transporting her, and with your new location!!
