How to prepare for a long trip?

At the end of the quarter (spring break) I am taking my beardie to live with my boyfriend who lives on the other side of the state because right now she lives in a (29 gal?) tank that is too small, but the 75 gallon tank I bought for her which fits her is with my boyfriend. So sad because I have to live without her for a about 2 months until I return home, but I know that it is what is best for her. I need to know how I should prepare her for a 6-7 hour car ride when temps may not be ideal for her. We'll also be going through pressure changes from going through mountains, will this be an issue or will she be just fine. Should I make a semi-heated carrier or can I just hold her the whole time? Should I try and make her sleep? What should I do about the lack of uvb, should I just let her soak up the natural sun if it is out? If so, will the car window block uvb and should I roll my window down (weather conditions permitted of course) and let her absorb from my lap? Should I not feed her that day? Or just a light meal? Anything I should do prior to the drive for her? Should she just stay in a dark carrier or under my jacket (where she usually falls asleep)? I know these are odd questions, but I need to make sure she has the safest trip possible.

Oh a question about computers too....she loves my laptop...should I try and keep her away from it? She likes to watch me type, watch things change on the screen, and feel the warmth of the keyboard.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
