I was planning to buy my first beardie. I have been doing research and stuff for awhile now. Someone I know is selling the one they have had for a few months with a full tank set up. They do however live two hours away from me.
My question is, what is the best way of transporting the beardie for a car journey of 2 hours? Also should I remove everything from the tank before transporting and then set it up when I get home?
In the time I am taking to set up the tank at home, what should I do with the beardie? Also, once i set up the tank, it will probably take awhile for the viva to reach the correct temps required. Do I put him in there anyway or wait until I get the temps correct?
The Beardie is 10 months. It comes with a desert sand substrate. Should I substitute this with something else like tile or reptile carpet?
Also, when should i feed him? I read they can't digest properly until the temps are right. So I should not feed him until then? or just feed veggies?
Thanks
