Transport

Hey guys,
I have 3 leopard geckos and one chinese leopard gecko. I'm moving from HK to Bali in mid-Sept for 8 months and I could never leave them behind. So I've done lots of stuff and I know everything about the permits. The only thing I don't know is how to transport them. It woulb be, all to gether abou 8 hour journey. The temperatures would not be a problem. I've searched on the internet but I can't seem to find anything good so if you can give me a website that would also be great. Also, does anyone know about the herps in Bali? Thanx Pls reply!!!!

An 8 hour drive shouldn't be any big deal. Especially in a climate controlled vehicle. I'd pack them pretty much the same as if you were packing them to be shipped...individual lizards in deli cups w/ holes packed in a box w/ newspaper or packing peanuts.

Thats no drive! thats airtransport.

Get in touch with the airline you are flying and find out their IATA Regulations for transport of live animal.

That will be the best starting point for you.

Ooops...guess I wasn't really paying attention to locations. But yeah, like the monkey says, check with the airline. I'd imagine that packing them like you were going to ship them is still going to be what you're going to want to do though.

If you have all the permits you should be able to carry them on with you. I would still pack them like you were going to ship them, but just take the box on the plane with you.

Thanx for the quick replies,

But, don't they need holes, if I packthem in a box they won't get much air.

Thanx for reading

People ship reptiles all the time without holes in the box, they should get plenty of air.

Depends on where the plane is going. If you're staying in the US, you don't need any permits. You just have to pay for them to fly like you would any other pet. If you're going outside the US, it all depends on the country you're going to.
