Hi, just wonder or I need to get some ducuments for my bearded dragon for traveling with ferry? Maybe something from Vet?
Another question, I am trying to buy tickets for ferry, and it's question or I take animal with me, if answer yes -need to choose dog or cat only so what I should do?

I wouldn't think you would need to get documents, depending on where you live and where you are travelling. My understanding of a ferry is a small boat that crosses rivers or such, is it any different where you live? If it is a boat, then I wouldn't recommend travelling on a ferry with a beardie, due to the stress of a ferry.

What I'm asking is, how long would the ferry take, as well as how necessary the trip is to take you beardie with you?

From what little I know on ferries usually pets must be in a carrier. Maybe dogs don't have to be but cats would. Beardies do not receive vaccinations. If it were me I would call the company to verify a beardie in a carrier is permisable

We are traveling from Northern Ireland to Lithuania, so we will be on the ferry 18,5 hours, then travel with the car another 22 hours. I have a heating mat for my bear died and some heating paches, and travel bag for him is well. Hope all be ok. We asked the vet about it, he says for reptiles dont need any documents. Fingers crossed. Thank you

I would call up the people that operate the ferry and just ask them.
