I have to relocate from California to Virginia for work and somehow safely bring my dubia colony along with me. A lot of time and effort has been put into maintaining and breeding them, and I would rather not start over from scratch.

My car is gonna be pretty full with mine and my beardie's stuff so space will be tight. Would it be possible to keep the dubia tank in the trunk while I'm driving as long as I take it out when I stop for the night? Will they suffocate? Obviously their heat source won't be plugged in during the move, but I don't need them to breed en route.

If anyone else has had a similar experience I would appreciate some advice :)

I think they'd be OK on the drive, but I'd make sure not to leave them in a hot car when you make stops. A car could get hot enough to cause them to overheat and die. Otherwise they should be OK in their bin for a few days.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
