Vacantion travel

[CHIMP]

I am going from Florida to new jersey for 6 days. I have 2 veileds, one male and one female, and a panther. I do not have anyone to watch them while I am gone. I have been debating on bringing them with me, but I can't exactly pack up their habitat and bring it with me. I thought about small cages. Would anyone have any suggestion on what I should do?

This pod cast is chock full of good ideas for vacation care of chameleons. http://www.chameleonbreeder.com/podcast/episode-003-vacations-and-chameleons/

6days without food is no problem.
If you can manage a big enough reservoir and drainage (maybe shorten misting a bit) and have everything on a timer. I'd say just leave the heating on in their room and go.

Feed them more than you usually do for a few days before you leave. They should be fine without food for that long.

PS: Stay in Florida... It sucks here in NJ lol.

Thank you all. I reviewed the pod cast and got a few ideas for water & food. I was not sure if it would be better to bring them or leave them. I think I have a good plan for leaving them now, which is preferred. As for staying in florida, yes I am with you on that however NJ is my wife's home town and we have to go lol.

If you have a misting system, that's the big problem taken care of. Black soldier fly larvae can be put into a container that the cham cant get to th eworms but the adults can fly out of as they hatch.

Yeah I do but one of the pod casts said I can link it to a larger container. So I am going to look into that this week. I also have drip systems that will hold enough drinking water. As far as food I am going to over feed them for a few days prior and set up a bowl for them to pick at, very similar to what you talked about.
