Hello Sulcata experts and enthusiasts! The time is nearing for transporting my Mac from New Mexico to Tucson. I have received from folks on this forum and sulcata-station advice on transport (as well as enclosures, food, and housing). I have a few remaining questions about the transport. (He is over 100 pounds and his SCL is approximately 20 inches.)
The trip is approximately 9.5 hours. How tightly should Mac be confined? Should the carrier/tub/box be twice his size? Should he be able to turn around? Should he be surrounded by hay? He currently is housed in a 10'X10'X8'tall shed. How warm must he be kept? I was planning on having his pig blanket under him for warmth - does this mean I should have space for him to move off from it? Any advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!
Janine
