Well, I brought my cresties home in a plastic tub lined with kitchen paper, a clear lid, and some tiny air holes. i left them on my lap with the cars heater up a bit. They were fine and dandy.

You could also wrap a hot water bottle (not too hot) in a nice soft towel for it to sit on for the journey. That's what I do when I take mine to vet

haha..


do it at night where it'll be expecting a drop in temperature and keep the heaters on, so you don't get cold as well.
