Another newbie

[changilass]

Hi, I havn't got my beardies yet, have to wait till 18th of December, so have been checking out your forum for ideas.

Already have a starter viv for them, but getting a larger one sent up too.

First thing I have done is thrown away the substrate that my local pet shop advised me to get.

I have to go to Inverness which is about 3hrs drive away, any tips on them travelling the rest of the journey home? Really don't want to stress them (2 female jouvies). Just now we have -11c temps so hoping that it will get a lot warmer before them, but obviously the heating will be on in the car. I also have an in car adaptor so that I could plug some form of heat source if needed.

The site has given me some great ideas, will be getting some polystyrene so that me and the wee man can do a craft project to make furniture for the viv.

Any advice would be great
Thanks
Changi

Typical, don't worry this has happened to a lot of us. :wink:

For the trip home since you have a power inverter, you could use a heat blanket, or if possible bring and plug in a basking source, CHE or light.

Cheers for the reply.

Just got an electric blanket from ebay, as I think that driving with a basking light in the dark might be a bitty off putting, its getting dark at about 3pm just now.

Also the electric blanket can then double as a heat source for a roach colony, so 2 for the price of 1, I do like a bargain lol.

Good deal, I want pictures when after you get them too. I love pictures. :wink:
