My family lives in Virginia but we are going to our house in New York for Christmas, I’m going to bring his tank and lights and everything, but is it okay to have him in the car for around 9 hours? He will be about 6 months old then
That should be fine. My guy goes with us on car rides regularly. At that time of year, have some hand warmers (the reptile shipping kind are best) and a tote bag and some soft small blankets or towels. The hand warmers are good to put under the blanket when you stop for a meal etc. Otherwise the normal car air temp is fine.

We live in Canada and travel with our guy in the winter. I keep his leash on and keep him on me in the passenger seat with a blanket over him.
I never leave him in the car when we stop. He stays with one of us in the car or in my big purse with soft blankets.
I carry his small travel tank and basking light in a hockey bag. I don't typically bring his UVB light only his basking lights. His UVB lights are too large for his travel tank and we are usually only gone for a few days at a time.
I do 9hr rides somewhat regularly. I've done week long road trips (in summer) without issue as well. I would pick up a few of the Uniheat shipping heat packs which are rated to last 72hrs. You can slip one under a towel or blanket if you leave the car. Otherwise normal car temps are fine.
