Travel tank setup?

[Trekkiegoat]

I'm wanting to take a little weekend road trip in a couple weeks, and was wondering if anyone had any good tutorials or ideas for an easy travel tank for dragons. I've heard of people using Rubbermaid tubs, but I'm worried the basking bulb would make the plastic melt. Has anyone successfully traveled with their dragon?

No rubber maid tubs -- you can get a plastic tote like a 50-60 gallon tote from Walmart but you must be sure you watch the basking bulb and temps -- it can clip on the side but for best best I would see if you can find a screen to sit on top -- your going to need to test basking temps in the tote -- so you have the correct temps in it --- if she is outside most of the time w/ you you wouldnt need to bring a long a UVB shes gonna get some good rays outside from the sun - a few hrs a day would suffice -- take a digital probe thermometer for those temps so you can keep an eye on them and then pack cleaning stuff for the car if she goes poop in the car etc --- and then your food etc --- I have never taken the dragons over nite but back and forth to the vet - they go in a carrier w/ mesh sides and open on the top for travel - looks similar to this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TV73DP7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You could also put tin foil on the bins rim.
