 |
|
I'm planning on going to hamm in march but id like to get everything ready as soon as possible, as this will be my first time going to a show abroad.
I'm assuming the best way to keep the reptiles warm in the coach will be to put them in poly boxes with heat pads? Please tell me if there is a better way.
I have no problem getting poly boxes but does anyone know where i can get heat pad from or will i be better off buying them at the show?? And how many will i need to put in each poly box (50x30x40cm approx)

the ones i see around only stay warm for 45 minutes so even in a poly box the heat will not last the entire length of the trip
