I am just about done exams and I'm heading home for the holidays - I live about 1.5 hours away from my parents' house. What's the best way to transfer my T? Luckily I'm getting a ride from my boyfriend (so I don't need to take the bus) but I'm worried because she molted about a week ago, and she has yet to tear down the wall she's made in front of her burrow (which I assume means she doesn't want to be disturbed). I'm going home in a week. How should I go about bringing her home?

My son wanted to show off the boehmei over thanksgiving to his cousins. We put the enclosure in an igloo cooler with clothes around the enclosure to keep it from moving but leaving the vent holes uncovered. This trapped the warm room temp air inside until my jeep warmed up enough. Then we opened the lid a crack for fresh air. Is just over an hour drive and he did fine.
