travelling tips please,:)

ok,even though i had no plan to get anything from hamm so close to christmas ,ive been offered a group of phants that i just cant turn down,so exited!some are ltc and some cb,
anyway my friend is going to be picking up for me,and although he is experienced with chams i would like to give him a few pointers,
hes driving through europe but he will pick up saturday and get them back to me monday night,
at the moment im just gonna give him a digi thermometer and a poly box and tell him to put a bottle of coolish water in there with themand keep an eye on the temp(try and stay between 60/75ish),and tell him to mist them a few times,
i wonder if a little plastic folage in each box would make them feel more secure?any opinions on this?
also does anyone have any other tips that may make the difference?
thanks in advance guys
steve

I think you are best of, knowing that saturday the weather conditions are poor (6 degrees Celsius), so in favour of your phants. For inside of the show, I would agree on trying to keep temps cool. Perhaps he can already bring the animals to his car, so they are cooler over there.

ahh ok,thanks jody,i will tell him,do you think a bit of plastic foliage in each container would reduce their stress slightly?
