one of those cheep styrofoam coolers and some damp moss, make sure to puncture a couple small holes in the top, the oxygen inside the steal coolers would olny keep him alive for about 2-3 hours

i'm guessing it would take like a day to get to georgia, he would be ok in a styrofoam cooler though?

make sure to poke a couple small holes, but yes, styrofoam is a good insulator, it will keep him from getting to hot or cold and will keep it humid, but remember several small holes in the top

Put some cold bottles of water in there too on a hot day. The toads can handle temperature drops without any issues.. and after all.. with a toad like this.. cooler is better than warmer.
