My Retic (8ft, 10pds) just came back from the vet after undergoing an endoscopy. The vet says she must be kept completely dry and on newspaper for obvious reasons.

I was wondering what your suggestions would be for keeping her humidity up during this time. I thought of putting a humidifer in her enclosure but I don't want to run the risk of her knocking it over and getting wet (or worse) or getting wet by moving across the top.

Also, I'm going to be moving from Chicago to Austin, Texas on June 2nd. We'll be driving straight through. How stressfull do you think that will be on her 5 weeks prior to surgery and what if anything do you recommend I do to minimize the stress? I've never transported my herps, so I'm fairly clueless. Is my assumption correct that shipping her is a bad idea? I don't know if there is any extremely fragile way of doing that. I basically want this to be as minimally stressfull as possible (regardless of cost).
Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
