Want to bring my beardie for my two month summer job

[culbert9]

So I have a summer job which will last 2 months. It is a 4 hour drive and i drive a tiny ford escort which will not fit my current tank that i have her in. I was wondering if just using a plastic rubber made storage container for her home for two months would be alright. I dont think they have any with clear plastic so she would kinda be shielded from the outside world. I would try and take her out everyday.

If that is not alright then what are some suggestions? I have a smaller tank that i keep crickets in but its just a standard tank that is way to small for a full grown beardie. Im leaving sunday so i need to figure this out quick

Yes that would work just fine as a temp enclosure, just make sure that you bring the UVB and basking lights with the bin.
It's alright if it isn't see through. I would, however, coat the top 3" or so with vaseline so crix can't jump and climb out of the bin at feeding time.

There are tons of clear storage containers out there. I've seen them at Target, Walmart, Bed Bath and Beyond and probably other places I can't think of at the moment. My biggest concern with that would be lights. How will you hang them to keep the plastic from melting. Another possibility would be checking craig's list for a smaller temporary viv that you can transport. Be aware, though, that this move may be stressful for her.

Ok cool. yea ill probably just build a screen cover to go over it to put the lights on and give her something to climb. How big would you recommend?

As close to 3' long by 18" wide as you can ! That is the minimum size for an adult dragon.
