Tips For Long Distance Move With Coleonyx?

Hey everyone,

I'm moving from Maryland to Alabama, a distance of 700-800 miles, on August 15 and I will be taking my Coleonyx with me. Has anyone moved this far with their gecko or are there any tips you can share with me? I was planning on putting him in the passenger seat of the moving truck so I can see him at all times, but I don't know if I should leave him in his tank or put him in one of those critter keepers. I will be staying in a hotel the night before I move in, so a critter keeper would be easier to move him in. I'm looking at about 14 hours of driving time, so any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I would put him in a deli-cup with some damp paper towel as a substrate. Leaving him in the tank could be problematic if various things in his tank start sliding around while the truck is moving.
