I plan on taking Mushu to the place we got him to get nails clipped they say every couple months? Is that right? So when I do that and vet visits what time of carrier should I be putting him in and do I need some type of heating pad or something? Place we got him is about 25 min away. Unless I check to see if the vet I plan on sending him to will do it they are 5 min away.
A short car ride like that shouldn't be a big deal at all. I use a soccer bag with a small fleece blanket at the bottom (a towel would work too). Normal warm car temps are fine. I usually don't bother with a heat pack under the blanket unless I'm on a long road trip and leave the car to stop for food etc. If you don't have a duffel bag, a large shoebox should work too. Anything that is a bit confined/cozy will do.
Heya we use a small animal carrier which we pile with blankets so they can snuggle down, we a only use heat packs if we're going outside the car or on long journeys x
I use a small, hard-sided cat carrier for all trips. He has a soft foam pad that fits on the bottom and lots of blankies to keep him warm and cozy. And his leash is tucked into the side, just in case. Yes, he travels like royalty.
I transport mine in a big plastic bin. I haven't taken the rankins to the vet, so I'm referring to my 3' lizards.
If your worried about temps you can fill a 2 L bottle with warm water and put it in the carrier with the dragon.
