5 hours will be fine. When reptiles get sent by courier they are in transit over night. Glad to see you have seen the light and you are moving to the best part of the UK!

Depends what reptile. for higher temp loving species, I'd get those warming packs, stack the reps on top of each other in poly box, to keep warmth in. hot water bottle works the same way.
