So, I am trying to decide between two less than ideal situations.
I will be traveling (driving) to see family for Christmas. Sydney is only 11 months old, so I do not want to go even 1 day without fresh veggies and insects with him right now (I want him to grow as large as possible) - let alone the 4-6 days that I will be away. Therefore, I am looking at two options:
1. Leave a bunch of extra food in his tank (I have the basking hammock set so he can get on it, but crickets cannot, so minimal fear in them biting him while basking). His enclosure is 120 gallons, so it is a nice place for him. Maybe I could drop by halfway through my visit to replenish, but that would mean a 3 hr drive and would not be ideal.
Option 2: Take him with me. His "travel cage" is one of these: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61RESBY6y5L._SX425_.jpg along with a Power Sun MVB on a stand, so he would still get the heat and UVBs that he needs. He would also still be fed daily. However, this new, smaller enclosure could really stress him out. It's also cold outside, but I am comfortable transporting beardies in the cold, so I am not very worried about that much.
Thoughts??
