Transporting Animals

[downthebeatenpath]

Okay, so I am going back up to school in like a month and I am bringing some of the herps with me, last year I just left them at home because I couldn't bring my car so there wasn't really room. My question is what would you guys recommend for the trip, it's about an 11 hour drive, I'm bringing a Ball Python in a 20L, a Lined-Day Gecko in a 12x12x18 exo terra, and then my pac-man frog in a kritter keeper type thing that has the floor space of a 10 gal. So do you think it would be better to just leave them in their tanks or should I put them in seperate containers ie deli cups and pillow case for snake? I appreciate the input. (Should also point out in all the tanks there is nothing that could shake lose or fall and hurt the animals)

They could go in tanks or in deli cups. The tanks will be fine as long as they don't slide around. Think about what you'll do when you stop for a meal --will you be comfortable leaving the windows partly open so they don't overheat and suffocate in the car? Leos at shows are often in deli cups for many hours so it shouldn't be a big deal.
