Health & WellbeingHow would I transport by bearded dragon? I'm mainly thinking of vet visits which is about a 25 minute drive. I'm concerned for when I have to take him during the winter since he's still pretty young. Any tips to keep him calm in his carrier would be
Hi there! There are many great commercially-produced reptile carriers out there, but my preference are the kind that have three covered sides and a clear or mesh front. Keeping them calm during travel is important, and preventing them from seeing everything going on outside can be helpful for this. Additionally, getting Clyde adjusted to the carrier before travel is a good idea. Try putting a treat that he likes in the carrier, and allowing him to venture inside on his own. Associating the carrier with a snack may also help to minimize stress in the future. Good luck, and I hope Clyde's future vet visits go well!
