[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 1958119, member: 76248"] I've taken my guy on a LOT of road trips over the years. 5 hours should be no problem and is a distance we do (or did until this year) routinely without issue. They do well at normal car temp so you don't need to crank the heat way up. Just keep it warm and comfortable for you. I usually have hand warmers with me in case of emergency (I prefer the 72hr reptile shipping ones like this [url]http://www.heatpacksource.com/products/72-Hour-Shipping-Warmer.html[/url]) It's good to have a bag of cleaning supplies on hand in case of poop (vinegar spray, disinfectant (F10) spray, paper towels, spare towels/blankets, disposable bags etc). On a short trip like that you don't really need to stop for sun or meals. On longer trips I usually stop at rest areas a few times per day to allow for some basking and a small snack (usually black soldier fly larvae since they're so easy to keep). If you are going somewhere temporarily, I suggest using an adjustable lamp stand with a dome fixture and MVB (PowerSun 100w works well). You can set these up in hotels or in a guest room etc easily and they provide good portable heat and UVB when needed. One thing I strongly suggest is getting a carrier that attaches to a seatbelt. I use this one all the time as both a carrier and portable housing (for them to sleep in overnight). [url]https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EW2WKZU/[/url] [/QUOTE]
