How far is it? If it's not too far you should be able to just put everyone in secure tubs.. if you're getting a moving van I wouldn't put the reps in there obviously but can move their vivs in there and then just take the reps in the car or something so they're secure.

If theres ane snakes who get stressed in tubs you could put them in a pillowcase so that it's dark and confined, they usually calm down well then (or a duvet case if it's something big).

If it's lizards that are small cricket tubs usually keep them safe, or larger tubs (make sure add air holes). If you're moving far.. you can buy the 24 hour heat pads, or you could use hot water bottles.

If it's going to take a long time to get the vivs setup and everything unloaded at the new house.. just take a spare heat mat, plug it in out of the way of everything, and when you get to the new place just put the tubs half on the heat mat.. then you can take your time about setting the vivs back up.
